  According to CT this is past its prime. Nonetheless, a friend was given a bottle as a present, and we tasted this after decanting for an hour or so. The full was high (no signs of leakage) and the top 2/3rds of the cork were like new. At opening it was completely closed up as would be expected. This developed into a subtly aromatic wine. Concentrated and focused. Quince paste, white figs, thyme, eucalyptus, camphor, new leather. Long lasting finish with hints of pepper and spices. Totally fine stuff.

  High fill into to the neck, only the bottom of the cork was wet, attractive bouquet with forest floor and claret features, the palate does not fulfil the promise of the nose and develops sour tones, in all probability a bottle thing, too bad since the recently tasted 1991 was just excellent. Maybe next time/bottle...

  Still fresh and vibrant with fruit and acidity I the nose and palate. Impressive

  Occasional dinner group; TOP Bordeaux 1988: This wine showed extremely beautiful tonight! In the bouquet dark forest fruits like cassis, luxurious oak, smoke, cigar box, spices and graphite. On the palate great complexity and finesse with dark forest fruits, graphite, good acidity and beautifully mature tannin. Overall a silky and great wine of great finesse and elegance and at its perfect peak. In fact sad to say it outclassed the 1988 Latour itself we tasted just before this wine.
