Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2023, Jeb Dunnuck, Dec 2020
The 1988 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde is fully mature, with a beautiful core of sweet dark fruits, bouquet garni, smoked game, and green olive-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, with a silky, elegant, resolved mouthfeel, it’s another classic Côte Rôtie from this great producer that’s at point and best enjoyed over the coming couple of years.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2014-2018, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Feb 2015
In the same ballpark quality wise, the 1988 Côte Rôtie Côte Blonde has textbook green olive, game, wild herbs and loads of sweet dark fruit, medium to full-bodied richness and good acidity in its silky, refined and fully mature profile. Drinking at point, it should continue to hold nicely, but there’s no reason to hold off.
