Score 89/100 · Drink 2003-2018, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

Bon Pasteur's 1988 is a sure bet. Deep opaque dark ruby (darker than the 1989), with a huge bouquet of chocolate, plums, currants, and herbs, this full-bodied, admirably extracted wine should prove to have considerable longevity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008.

Subtle aromas of chocolate, spice and fresh mushrooms follow through to a medium body, with soft, round tannins and a chocolaty, berry aftertaste. Refined and delicious. Just right now. '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009
