in 2011 I suggested that this would not improve, but it certainly has not gone down hill; this was full of life, with a deep colour and super smooth. A remarkable, classic claret, still with plenty of life in it yet, but I wouldn't risk decanting or giving it a long aeration. After 30 years of slowly absorbing oxygen through the cork, it really does not need any more air.

Two hour decant. Gorgeous. Powerful cassis nose straight off. V dark, tobacco, leather and black fruit. Loved it.

Clean and firm cork. Cigar, youthful, fresh, fruit, strong scent of roses and a more decaying floral element. Concentrated. A little sour on the finish.

3/18/2017 - WINEFORTH LIKES THIS WINE: 94 Points
How wrong can I be? When predicting the early decline of a Leoville Barton - very wrong. Tasted in '98 at Christie's I concluded browning, drink now, and scored it 90. '88 has always been the Cinderella of a great trio of vintages. This bottle bought a few months ago from auction of a recently opened case, for £60. Understated nose of leather, mushrooms, raspberry and cedar. Well balanced, plenty of sweet fruit, still has backbone of medium tannins and clean acidity. Lovely, and very similar to 20 years ago, especially in balance and sweetness of fruit. It's just put on weight and gained the leathery, meaty and sous bois character. Drink now as it will be in slow decline for a decade and more.

Deep garnet, developed nose of menthol, blackcurrant leaf, leather, cigar box spice, cedar, sous boie - undergrowth, damp leaf, truffle, or more woody mushroom like a cep.
On the palate, it has high tannins that coat the mouth but are not unpleasant - real backbone. The flavours are darker than the nose, coffee grounds, leather, meat. Woodiness, but not too unripe. Menthol, robust cigar leaf. Acid is still pretty high, which helps to refresh you from the tannin. It has only been open an hour, but I think 4-6 hours would have been much better. 92 now, may raise a bit.
