Details
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1988
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Rich and deep in colour, this is still surprisingly purple (tasted Jan 2000). The aromas are opulent and spicy, though not yet fully apparent. This is a slumbering Haut-Brion, undoubtedly impressive in structure and aftertaste, yet presently its acidity and tannins hide the fruit and silkiness. Needs 3-5 years. A.H.
