Score 86/100 · Drink 1993-2001, Robert Parker, Feb 1993
The 1988 boasts an intense, new oak-dominated bouquet, some spicy, medium-bodied, ripe fruit, moderate tannins, sound acidity and moderate alcohol in the finish. It does not have the ampleness of the 1989, but those who like a more restrained, polite style of Pomerol may prefer the 1988. Anticipated maturity: Now-2001.

Garnet red color. Aromas of dried meat and mushrooms, with fruit underneath. Medium- to full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins and a tobacco, berry and leafy finish. A little tart and lean, but interesting.¿'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009
