1992: a good year for red wines
Vintage year review :
Winter and spring were quite sweet, even if May was notable for its rain. There were a great amount of grapes with a strong concentration. Before the Harvest, we could count 200 hours of sun. The wines are elegant, lovely… Wines for pleasure.
Tasting advice:
Empty the bottles, it is now or never!
The Harvest in 1992.
That year in the vineyard…
Saint Vincent Tournante in Vosne-Romanée.
That year in the world…

In theaters, this is a comedy-year with some classics like Sister Act or Wayne’s World. Other classics: the Bodyguard, Leather Weapon 3 andBasic Instinct.
