Drank one at the weekend. Absolutely wonderful drinking right now, full of baby fat but with a stunning structure. My personal view is that if you're not of the age where you can give this 30+ years to mature, you might as well drink it now and get a huge amount of pleasure from it.

Thanks David. I had read some good notes on the '92 Infantado, so I'm looking forward to trying it. The average purchase price was less than $34 a bottle so I couldn't pass up the deal.

When they went to pick the '92 Infantado to ship it they couldn't locate it, so they backed it off my bill. Arghh.
