  We opened the bottle one hour before, did not decant it , when it came in the glass the wine was tired and the first impressions was to say that it was declining , the same for the palet, nothing bad, warm and then nearly no acidity anymore , but....after 1 hour the nose had a lot of new flavors to be discovered , really very attractive , leather, fraises , framboise , sweet orange, very sexy nose, but the palet didn't change ,

  Belated birthday dinner: Agree with previous notes that this is fully resolved and drinking nicely. Nose needed some time to sort itself out as it was a little funky to begin with, but began to show a lovely restraint after a couple of hours. Silky elegant palate that made me think that it was a Vosne GC, seamless texture and a huge depth to the wine. Bright cherries note that led to a very fine and silky finish. Became a little pruney with air but what a showing still for a wine that is over 30 years old.

  Pale garnet orange rim. Beautifully maturing notes of dried flowers, sour cherry, prune, sweet and peppery spices. A bit of undergrowth and tea leaves. So elegant and expressive now.

  For a 1988 this is nicely resolved and integrated. No rough edges or acid spikiness that sometimes goes with this vintage. Just good old-school Grand Cru Burg. Nose gave it away as Burg immediately. Tasted blind, nobody guessed CdT. Guesses were all over, but because of how silky this seemed, the direction of guesses was more towards the Vosne/Chambolle side of things. I also detected a slight rusticity...like a bloody/animale thing...but just a hint. This is a lovely, complex wine.

  This was beautiful and quite soft for an '88. Resolved and elegant and got better over the course of two hours. Fruit got brighter and more energetic. A complex mix sous bois, red fruits and hints of floral. Solid acidity and a nice line of minerality. My last few sips were around the 3 hour mark and it started to tighten up and show more '88 hardness. Gorgeous and in a great spot.
