The 1992 vintage for red Burgundy was a mixed bag, generally considered soft and simple, with a lack of acidity meaning little structure for long-term ageing. However, some of the best red wines from this vintage are noted for being structured and having 'fat'. Domaine des Lambrays' Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 1992 presents a full-bodied, concentrated, and remarkably elegant profile. Expect a rare and complex aroma, with notes of blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry, evolving into undertones of truffle, spices, liquorice, violet, and undergrowth with age. Some tasters have found a medium ruby colour with amber at the rim, an understated red fruit nose with hints of coffee and cedar, and a palate of big red cherry fruit, though possibly a little diffuse. It typically shows good acidity and medium, slightly grainy tannins, culminating in a supremely elegant finish. Food pairing suggestions include classic choices like duck, goose, and game birds. More specific pairings could be chapon truffé en croûte de sel, magret au poivre vert, or tournedos grillé. This wine is ideal for a special occasion amongst fellow wine enthusiasts who appreciate mature Burgundy. It's a wine to be enjoyed now, rather than cellared further, as most wines from this vintage are likely at or past their peak. Given its age, this wine will show the beautiful evolution of Pinot Noir, with tertiary aromas and a softened structure. Be mindful that older corks can be fragile; a Durand or Ah-So opener is highly recommended. Decant carefully to separate any sediment, but only for a short period (30-60 minutes) to allow it to open up without losing its delicate, aged aromas. Serve at approximately 16°C (60-62°F). 【One of the five Grand Crus of Morey-Saint-Denis, with Domaine des Lambrays owning almost the entire Clos des Lambrays vineyard as a virtual monopole.】
