Score 16/20 · Drink 2008-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2009
Harvest date 28 Sep-13 Oct; yield 60.1 hl/ha; vineyard area 33.14 ha Bright crimson. Thick and sweet on the nose. The tannins are a little severe – the four-square 1988 spirit! I can't see this wine ever being truly succulent, but then it might surprise just like the 1975. My suggested drinking dates give it the benefit of the doubt. (JR)

Score 87/100 · Drink 1993-2008, Robert Parker, Feb 1993
The 1988 Sociando-Mallet is medium-bodied, somewhat lighter than one might expect, but concentrated and spicy, with a sense of balance. It should last for 12-15 years.
