Another pristine bottle from a different batch. Nose exhibited toffee, coffee beans, creme brulee, almond, custard and ripe yellow fruit. The palate was rich, powerful and extracted with high resemblance of the nose sensation. Based on two pristine bottles from two different sources I had this year, the 88 Drouhin Monty is at absolute peak. It should be consumed sooner than later.

Montrachet: I was looking forward to this bottle, and it didn't disappoint. Showing it's age but very enjoyable. In a flight with the Drouhin 1992, and initially outpaced it.

New release in 2021, evidently reconditioned. White fruit and flowers with light nuttiness underneath. Big, precise, with high dry extractions. Very good but I wonder what the original release tastes like. 94

The 88 Monty is absolutely thrilling with hazelnut, toffee, coffee beans and caramalized yellow fruit. It has excellent concentration with waves of acidity. Again, it is my favorite Drouhin Monty.

Atlanta Amoureuses & Monty Dinner: PnP. Surprisingly fresh and vibrant for the age. Fully mature, but very enjoyable.
