1988 IN METHUSELAH
"A very powerful vintage and still improving and even though this is not too far away from its peak, it should hold for many years."
--Aubert de Villaine
La Tâche--Vintage 1988
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Slightly torn label, slightly damp stained label
"Somewhat subdued and reserved on the nose with the classic nose of Asian spices, hoisin, soy and a trace of oak followed by sweet, long, structured and beautifully complex flavors. There is fine length here and the power is impressive. This is still a bit tight but this is finally beginning to unwind. I would give this another 5 to 7 years in the cellar and drink over the next 10 to 15 years. Consistent notes as I have tasted this many times." Burghound.com, September 9, 2005
