Description

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...

Two lots of TWO bottles of this 1988 first growth. The labels have suffered in a damp cellar (all are fairly similarly affected) but which has conserved the levels to 'in neck' - a rarity after nearly 30 years.

Tanzer and the Wine Spectator accord this wine 89 points.

Cellartracker with 41 comments has an average of 90.7

6/4/2016 - RED_MAN LIKES THIS WINE: 93 Points
Yellow-gold colour, superb nose, rich luscious fruit with distinct but restrained botrytis character (penicillin, fungussy oranges), lovely depth of rich and complex fruit on the palate, some burnt sugar character, sweet and luscious but perfectly in balance, poised, long lingering finish with the acidity and slight bitterness provided by noble rot, lovely wine at its peak though will hold for ages, slips down a treat says the wife...
