Wine Advocate #88
Aug 1993 Robert Parker 90 Drink: 1993 - 2008
One of the stars of the vintage, the 1988 has evolved beautifully. Dark ruby, with a full-intensity bouquet of black plums, herbs, and currants, a silky smooth texture, and full body, it is one of the most highly extracted wines of the vintage. Seductively precocious, it should drink superbly over the next 10-15 years.

Some very recent Cellartracker comments, perhaps more pertinent than 20 year old tastings.

My sole bottle donated in the name of science delivered a stern, austere, traditional wine that was more interesting due to its cigar box, tobacco, truffle, earth, blackberry, olive and herbal nose, than its medium bodied, cassis, cranberry and herb palate. There is no reason to age this wine any longer. Drink up.

Nose: Classic pencil, cigar wrapper, cherries and a raspberry creme note. Palate: Somewhat lighter and more feminine than I might have expected, but showed the tell tale coconut, pencil and smooth berry notes that I associate with Pichon. Finish: Long and delivers the lingering smoke and beautiful red fruit notes I love in this wine.Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

A classic. Pencil, cassis, earth. Perfect balance (of course, this is a Lalande). What more is there to say? Perhaps not the definition or density of better vintages, but still a lot to like here. Very Pauillac.

Gorgeous nose, smooth palate. Felt younger than expected for a 1988!

1988 Red Bordeaux, with Richard Brazier (Handford Wines, London): Along with the Lynch-Bages the only other exciting wine in our 88 line up. Again very dark in colour. Nice and developed nose, classic in many ways. Well round and supple on the palate, well balanced fruit and tannic structure. Had a charmless side on the mid-palate but we will forgive it as across the board this behaved very well and given time this will only get better. Good life ahead. 94-92
