- A dry, mild winter resulted in budbreak on 24 March.
- Summer temperatures in May caused an explosion in growth and mid-flowering was recorded on 5 June.
- A very rainy June encouraged the development of certain diseases in the vineyard, which required strict, methodical measures throughout the season.
- After a “normal” July, August was very hot with some large thunderstorms (three times more rainfall than normal).
- September was cool and dry, resulting in relatively slow ripening.
- Rain returned the day before the harvests, which took place from 23 September–9 October.
- Drastic sorting was necessary to remove grapes affected by grey rot.
- A great deal of effort was also required during the vinification process to extract the best from this difficult vintage.
In the end, Château Latour 1992 was fairly surprising…
Château Latour 1992 has a good structure, very well-balanced, and bursting with fruit and spicy aromas.
But probably now past its peak…
