Score 85/100 · Drink 2003-2010, Robert Parker, Jan 2003
The 1988 is a good rather than exceptional effort. Given the vintage, no one should be surprised that it is a leaner, more austere wine. But it does have a good inner core of curranty fruit, fine tannins, and a general sense of elegance and grace. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 4/91.
