I have for sale one of Chateau Margaux 1988 which is in very good condition. This is the final bottle I will be selling of this wine.
As can be seen from the photos the label are in good condition and the capsule and levels are excellent.
My reserve is a snip for mature Chateau Margaux from a very good vintage that was undervalued because it was overshadowed by 1989 and 1990. As a result I would argue a 1988 Chateau Margaux represents one of the best value vintages on the market.
WINE SPECTATOR
Wow. Wonderfully fresh, with currant, blackberry and flowers on the nose. I just want to keep on smelling it. Full-bodied, with ultravelvety tannins and loads of berry and chocolate character. Dense and firm. Big wine, muscular. Drinkable now, but it's going to get a lot better with bottle age. '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 25,000 cases made.

Margaux 1988 served at John Avery’s memorial dinner this January was superb: lovely fragrance, smoothness and depth, fine and dry with beautiful texture. Tasted in November 2000, Broadbent gave it two stars, but the potential for four stars and ‘possibly five-star when fully mature, say 2010-2020’. As usual, Michael and I agree.
