  • What the experts say...

    Le 1988 s'est récemment révélé dans une forme éblouissante. Plus proche de la maturité que le 1990, il libère un bouquet absolument divin de cerise et de noix de coco, déployant de manière ostentatoire de remarquables arômes d'ananas confit et de chêne grillé. Moyennement corsé et d'une pureté magnifiquement, il est merveilleusement frais et mûr. (...) Source: Robert Parker (11/94)

    The wine

    This second grand cru classé makes for a really great wine. With its straw hue, it is elegant and well-balanced on the palate. It is characterised by creamy smoothness, richness and delicious aromatic flavours of candied fruit. This is an excellent, long and full-bodied wine, skilfully produced with great expertise, which will reach maturity after a few years of aging.
