I have a bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1992. Should we drink it now or keep it further ?

Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a first great growth wine, Premier Grand Cru Classé. It means that Mouton Rothschild is one the best Bordeaux wine along with Margaux, Haut Brion, Lafite Rothschild and Latour.

However 1992 is not considered as a great vintage and therefore it needs less time to mature. Although the tannins in the wine should preserve it.

The wine is already at its best. Mouton Rothschild is ready to drink now, in 2006 and up to 2010.

The recommende vintages are: 1982, 1986, 1995, 1989, 2002 and probably 2005.
