The 1988 is full and rich, with that profound, mineral, spicy, sweet oaky, curranty aroma, gentle, yet full-bodied, creamy-textured flavors, and a long, smooth, marvelous finish. This wine may well turn out to be outstanding with another 3-4 years in the bottle.
Dark chocolate, with meat, fresh mushroom and a light espresso undertone. Full-bodied, with ultrarefined tannins and a meaty, berry, earth and spice undertone, even game. Rich and generous. What a surprise. Much better than I remember.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
