TN Corton-Charlemagne 1992, L. Latour

Domaine Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne 1992 has peaked and probably needs drinking fairly soon. The 1992 vintage produced ripe grapes somewhat lacking in acidity. This wine is now light lemon yellow. It has enough acidity to balance, but not the higher acidity I usually expect from this wine.Tthe body is fairly full. There is some creamy character. It has hints of oak and spice. This is a better than average wine, but it lacks some of the firmness of the best examples from Louis Latour. It also has aged faster than Latour's best examples. Latour's 1971 is still outstanding and holding if very well stored. The 1976 was not far behind the 1971. The 1990 is another top Latour and is very likely to outlive the 1992
