Surprisingly, the 1992 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc was showing better than the more heralded 1999. Less rich and textured, but more vibrant and clean, it offers beautiful notes of white flowers, tea leaves, honey, lemon curd and citrus to go with a medium-bodied, fresh, elegant and classy profile on the palate. It picks up an almost old Riesling-like kiss of petrol with time in the glass and is drinking at point today.
