Chambertin--Vintage 1988
Côte de Nuits, Leroy
Slight signs of overfill seepage
"Still primary with only the initial hints of secondary complexity coming through. The concentration of the fruit is immediately evident and carries through to the big, rich, intense, indeed massive flavors. The finish is powerful, robust and delivers exceptional length. The tannins are slightly edgy on the back end but there is so much sap that they are largely, if not completely buffered. Deep, stylish and classy wine that should live for decades. Undeniably one of the wines of the vintage." BH, Aug 14, 2004
