Aromas of currant and sweet tobacco follow through to a full body, with soft, silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. A little dusty, but lots of fruit and character.¿'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009

The 1988 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, and a closed but spicy, reticent bouquet vaguely suggestive of cedar, plums, and green olives. This medium-bodied, surprisingly hard and tannic wine will need 4-6 years of bottle age to soften. Feb 1993, www.robertparker.com
