Château Pétrus--Vintage 1988
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel. Château-bottled
Tasting note: The 1988 Petrus is reassuringly outstanding, but it is not a prodigious Petrus. The healthy dark ruby/purple color is followed by a young, backward wine with high tannin levels, medium body, and an inner-core of sweet, ripe fruit. It needs another 7-10 years of cellaring. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series VI - Flight A of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. 91 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103, February 1996
