Details
Château Pétrus--Vintage 1988
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Levels: into neck, damp soiled and glue stained labels, slight signs of old seepage
In original wooden case
"The 1988 Pétrus is reassuringly outstanding, but it is not a prodigious Pétrus. 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." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #103 (Feb 1996)
