Score 90/100 · Drink 2014, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Feb 2014

The 1988 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes from Dominique Lafon has retained an elegant, almost understated bouquet with butterscotch and lanolin aromas, hints of puff pastry following suit, all with fine delineation. The palate is a potent orange zest entry and seems fully mature. But it is certainly well-balanced with a strict line of acidity, finally showing evidence of just a little fatigue towards the finish. Drink now. Tasted November 2013.

Less fresh aromas of lemon, vanillin oak and white chocolate. In a leaner style, with rather screechy (tartaric?) acids. Riesling-like notes of humus and petrol. Not at all a fleshy wine but rounding out with bottle age. Still, this could use more freshness.
