Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1992
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
After a dry winter that last through the month of May, June very damp. The flowering was long and varied. A large crop was in the offing in despite the "coulure" and "millerandage". July and August were very hot with rain prevailing in the latter. this caused worrisome sanitary conditions. Botrytis and mildew were brought about due to heat and damp. The vintage was saved simply because of meticulous and continuous work executed by the wine maker.
Tasting note:
Deeaper and somewhat richer looking than I expected; quite good fruit; touch of sweetness but with a curious, rough, chewy texture and noticeable acidity. At Anthony Byrne's tasting, April 1995. *. MB
