Massive, with loads of ripe fruit and polished tannins. Full-bodied, with exotic flavors of berry and raspberry highlighted by chocolate and vanilla. Still needs time to mellow, but it's a roller coaster of flavors across your palate.
The bouquet of the blackrubypurple-colored 1988 remains tight, but with swirling, one can detect scents of smoky, toasty oak, black plums, allspice, and Asian spices. There are gobs of super-ripe fruit in this extremely concentrated wine. Very structured, with considerable tannin, this massive, full-bodied 1988 will provide a dazzling glass of decadent Pomerol.
