1988 Lagrange St Julien

86 pts - Wine Advocate

The 1988 is shallow, insipid, and undistinguished. Last tasted 1/93.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/1998)

88 pts - Vinous

Good full, fresh ruby. Perfumed, captivating aromas of sappy black cherry, violet and rose petal. Austere and penetrating, and yet the texture is ultimately more pliant than that of the '86. Raspberry and cherry fruit flavors are complicated by notes of camphor, black olive, herbs and cedar. Finishes with slightly dry tannins and subtle persistence. "This is the first vintage we made with real knowledge of the property," Ducasse noted.- Stephen Tanzer (9/24)
