One of the stars of the vintage, the 1988 has evolved beautifully. Dark ruby, with a full-intensity bouquet of black plums, herbs, and currants, a silky smooth texture, and full body, it is one of the most highly extracted wines of the vintage. Seductively precocious, it should drink superbly over the next 10-15 years
Richly coloured ; good fruit, a whiff of lavender and 'sea breeze' ; mouthfilling, sweet, masked tannin.
