Still has enough fruit to be very enjoyable. This wine has aged remarkably well.

1988 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

We've been enjoying this wine for many years and it just keeps on going. I am puzzled by the previous reviewer who suggested that many/most bottles of the '88 Ducru were flawed -- we've had 11 bottles over the years (from more than one case) and I don't recall a single flawed bottle. We recently had two bottles, both of which were truly enjoyable: remarkable color and plenty of residual fruit. This is not a huge wine but we have always found it to be elegant and well balanced. That being said, like another recent reviewer, I believe it's drinking at its prime, so time to drink up.

We let this wine breathe for about 1.5 hours and paired it with prime rib. It was fabulous. Deep purple color, rich, fruity and very well balanced. Ready to drink now but should last for a good while longer. We're used to drinking old Bordeaux and this wine would have shown very, very well among them.
