啱啱系老銅撳完鐘仔, 返到屋企無無聊聊, 開返支酒飲下, 出乎意外, 好正哦..
不如出返份tasting note.

when looking, clear wine with garnet appearance with plenty of legs

clean on nose, with medium intensity , fully developed, but still with potential for further maturation. full of smell like black fruits, red fruits, lot of plums, cidar, cigar box, raisin, cinnamon etc

on palate, a dry wine with med tannin, med acidity and med+ body. med+ intensity. tight structure with jamy black and red fruits flavors, mingle with spicy and liqurioce flavors. very plumy. the tastes finished  for about 15 sec.

to conclude,
an outstanding quality premium wine ready to drink but can develop further.
i will give 93+/100.

stunning to learn that RP gave only 87/100 to this wine

根據 Hugh Johnson 評分， 91 年好過 92 年。

92 is a relatively weak vintage with a wet August and rain during harvest. However, with all these winemaker know-how and machine and technology, good producers like Ducru could turn out good wines.

To age a wine is to soften and weaken them, and enabling complexities to develop. A weaker vintage wine with 10-20 years of age can taste like a great vintage wine with 40 years of bottle age. So why bother pay so much more for vintages like 1982, 1990, 2000, 2005 2009 etc.?

The difference is at the end: the mouth fill and the finish. As you note, the finish of this wine was about 15 seconds, which is SHORT. When you have all these harmonious complexities and fruit in your mouth, it is kind of sad that tis goes away after 15 seconds. Think of all these savoury sensations  in your mouth goes on and on for a minute or 2 or even longer: I had a 91 Jean Gros Richebourg that I woke up the next morning and could still taste it in mouth. Or a DRC 90 Grands Echezeaux, or a Selosse Carelles. Like a perpetual orgasm!!!

That is exactly the palate of Parker who likes big wines with lingering tastes in the mouth and he hence scores weaker body wines lowly. He could not appreciate subtlety and finesse and I have reservations about  the style of Burgundies he likes. But you have to give him credit for having generally raised the standard of wines from his crusade style of wine criticism.

So how do you solve the problem with shorter finish? Easy, have another sip immediately once the finish is diminishing. I was taught that and have not looked back. The real problem are wines without complexities and fruit and balance. No matter how many sips/gulps you take, they still taste bad.

15 seconds is relatively short for this wine with the vintage of 1992.  Maybe it's not a good vintage for this wine.
