Tasting notes
Laville's 1992 was the most backward, dry white Graves I tasted. It possesses a medium straw color, a tight but promising nose of sweet waxy fruit, long, rich, full-bodied flavors, adequate acidity, an opulent, chewy richness, and tremendous length. Although not as monumental as the 1989, this is a top class Laville-Haut-Brion that should drink well for 20-30 years. Note: No 1991 was produced under the Laville-Haut-Brion label.
