Vintage 1988
All the bottles from 1988The 1988 vintage
Built to last, slow to open up
A classic, firmly structured Bordeaux vintage. A dry summer and healthy fruit gave high tannin and wines that spent thirty years being called austere before finally coming good. Sauternes was outstanding, the first of the famous 1988, 1989 and 1990 run. The northern Rhône made one of its greatest vintages, Champagne declared widely and elegantly, and Burgundy produced tannic, long-lived reds.
