Score 72/100 · Drink 1993-1999, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

Dusty, hard, even harsh flavors are obliterated by the abrasive tannins in the 1988. The impression created is one of hollowness, with only a skeleton of acidity, wood, and tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now-1999.

Rather dusty in character, but a very good, mature bottle of wine. Plenty of berry, allspice and chocolate aromas. Medium-bodied and round-textured, with tobacco, cherry and chestnut flavors.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Drink now. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1999
