| Tasting Note： |
Chateau Taste:
The wine shows deep colour with sustantial but supple tannin. It is long on the palate, while the aromas are still hidden due to the youth of the wine. At this stage of evolution it seems the vintage is not comparable to any other ones but 1966.
Wine Advocate # 88 (8/1/1993) Rating : 91 points Drink: -2025
The 1988 is built along the lines of the 1966, but better made and more concentrated. Medium-bodied, rich, and tannic, it will have to be cellared until the end of this century. Last tasted, 6/93.
Wine Spectator (11/30/1998) Score: 98
The wine of the vintage and one of the greatest Haut-Brions ever made. Superpowerful and ripe, with masses of spice, mint and berry character. Full-bodied, with full yet polished tannins, this wine is a joy to taste and will be for decades.
