Note di degustazione
Spotted on a list for a reasonable price, the 1992 Haut-Brion really did not do much for me. Light and austere on the nose with faint Monte Cristo cigar scents, it begs the question: where's the fruit? The palate is slightly better with a modicum of finesse, yet it feels hollow and dries towards the finish.

Golden. Rich and lanolin aromas. Dry end but very confident and bone dry. Impressive, assertive, long. Green and lively. (JR)
This wine is an immensely successful effort for the vintage, with elegance, sweetness, and a medium plum/garnet color already beginning to show some lightening at the edge. It has developed quickly, although the wine has surprising fruit and personality for such a dreadful vintage. The wine shows good cedary, spice box, cigar, and tobacco notes intermixed with minerals, sweet plum, and cherry. The finish is a bit short and attenuated, but the aromatics, attack, and mid-palate are delicious. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted, 11/02.
Has less richness than the 1993, showing lovely berry and black cherry flavors that shine through a layer of grainy tannins.--Haut-Brion vertical. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1997
