Château Pétrus--Vintage 1988
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Damp-stained labels
In damp-affected original wooden case
Tasting Note: The 1988 Pétrus is reassuringly outstanding, but it is not a prodigious Pétrus. The healthy dark ruby/purple colour 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).
