Score 90/100 · Drink 1995-2008, Robert Parker, Jan 1997
Guigal's regular cuvee of 1988 Brune et Blonde is very fine. It has admirable levels of sweet, voluptuous, smoky, raspberry fruit, intermingled with scents of new oak, bacon fat, and flowers. In the mouth it exhibits the up-front, precocious softness and lushness of the 1985, but with more complexity, structure, and tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2008. Last tasted 12/95.
