I have a bottle of 1992 Dom Perignon, and I'm wondering when I need to/should drink it. It was given to me a couple of years ago, and I've been saving it for a special occasion, but most special occasions don't lend themselves to drinking an entire bottle of champagne and really enjoying it. Should I drink it right away or would it be better in a few years? When's the optimum time to drink it?

Ditto. Now. A couple of reasons. 1992 didn't/doesn't really have the staying power of other Champagne vintages. Not many houses declared a vintage in 1992 (but Moet & Chandon seems to declare more Dom vintages than other houses).

Since it became LVMH so has Yquem.
