Faiveley made a sensational wine from the firm's exclusively owned Corton-Clos de Corton monopole vineyard. It is the most backward and tannic of all the Faiveley 1988s, and has a dense ruby/purple color, a sensational bouquet of raspberries that reminded me more of Cote R0tie than Burgundy, fabulous length and richness, good acidity, and an elevated level of tannins in the finish. This wine should be one of the few 1988s from Faiveley to last 20 or more years.
