The 1992 Brunello di Montalcino, from a lowly regarded vintage, is a soft, round, medium-bodied wine with plum and cherry-flavored fruit, a notion of underbrush, earth, and spice, moderate weight, and a soft finish. For a Brunello, it is forward, precocious, and flattering. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
