Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The most difficult Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon to find and purchase is the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Beringer's 25-acre Chabot Vineyard. This wine spends two years in 100% new French oak, and gives every indication of being a 20-30-year wine. Readers should keep an eye out for the release in March, 1997 of the 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard. This wine has thrown off some of its formidable tannin, and should prove to be one of the potential candidates for the wine of the vintage. It exhibits an opaque purple color, followed by a huge, smoky, Asian spice, black fruit, mineral, and earthy-scented nose that soars from the glass. Thick, full-bodied, and powerful, with layers of fruit, this is an awesomely rich (too concentrated for some readers?) wine that is accessible, but in need of another 2-3 years of cellaring. The 1992 should be at its peak of perfection by 2002-2005, and keep for another 15-20 years.

Dark, ripe, rich and concentrated, brimming with juicy plum, cherry, currant, anise and black cherry flavors. Shows uncommon finesse and polish for a young wine, finishing with ripe, full tannins. Delicious.
