Wine Advocate # 95 (10/1/1994) Rating: 94 points Drink: 2000-2035
This deeply-colored wine exhibits the tell-tale Lafite bouquet of cedar, subtle herbs, dried pit fruits, minerals, and cassis. Extremely concentrated, with brilliantly focused flavors and huge tannins, this backward, yet impressively endowed Lafite-Rothschild may well turn out to be the wine of the vintage! - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (11/30/1998) Score: 90
Bright, crisp flavors of cranberry, raspberry and cherry are accented by stylish butter and nutmeg notes from aging in new oak barrels. A bit lean, but it's a classic claret in its balance.
Chateau Taste:
The 1988s are deeply colored Cabernets and Merlots, powerfully structured and tannic.
