Redemption for a underperforming bottle from our last go at this 1992. If you're buying old wine and didn't anticipate bottle variation, you need to know that's just part of the game. This bottle is fantastic.
(Enjoying alongside the '88 again today, no slouch on that bottle!)

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading Sarah KIRKLAND SNIDER (Forward into Light; BSO Premiere), PROKOFIEV (Violin Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Opus 63) and DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, Opus 70).
 
Our soloist today Augustin Hadelich rounds out the program with Prokofiev’s intense Violin Concerto No. 2, and Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 – sometimes called the composer's greatest symphony. — 2 years ago

Pale lemon with stone and citrus fruit aromas, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe fruit peaches and pears with citrus zest and pepper tones. Medium+ finish, good balance with lively acidity, rich mouthfeel ending with fruit, spice and floral character. — 4 years ago

So the cork was a bish and a half to remove, but the wine was so delicious. Does have a Granny Smith Apple vibe, crisp and sweet. — 9 years ago

Such a beautiful expression of red and blue fruits. Soft and supple texture. This wine comes across so pure and chaste; somewhat remarkable when you consider what’s typical on the market these days. — 8 years ago

A phenomenal vintage for FWG! Amazingly pale for its age, with a very finely honeyed nose of apricot blossom, white rose petals, and lime leaves. Fabulous acidity and amazing freshness. Only delicately sweet; perhaps some has dropped off with age. The perfect start to the meal! — 9 years ago
