Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
The terrible battle against fungus was won through use of fungicides, after a hot and dry summer and September that let the grapes mature. The 1988s are deeply coloured Cabernets and Merlots, powerfully structured and tannic.
Tasting note:
Most recently, still very deep, intense, opaque core but on the verge of maturity; high Cabernet Sauvignon noticeable though overall subdued; on the palate, sweet, almost chewable, with a good, long, dry finish. Last tasted March 2006 ***(**) 2008 - 2020. MG
