Although 1992 was not a particularly great vintage for Bordeaux, the estate, through rigorous selection (rejecting up to 40% of the harvest), still produced a remarkably refined and elegant wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine characteristics and reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaking ratio: Made from approximately 60% of the grapes harvested at the time (40% of inferior grapes were strictly discarded), a blend of 58% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol content: 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned wine critic Robert Parker awarded it 90 points, describing it as a miniature version of the 1985 vintage, displaying a deep ruby color with aromas of black fruit, tobacco, cedar, and minerals, and an elegant and smooth palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: Classic Haut-Brion characteristics, exuding smokiness, cigar box notes, leather, minerality, and fruity aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blueberry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalmistry: Medium-bodied, smooth and well-structured, with finely grainy tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: The finish is slightly shorter and weaker than in older vintages, but the overall aroma and mid-palate remain captivating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has been aged for over 30 years and is well past its prime.
