Information on the vintage 1988 red Bordeaux: The first of a trio of very good vintages and the penultimate vintae of a more than interesting decade. Rather like the 1986s, with which, at one time, they seemed to be level pegging, I now think that the 1988s, initially somewhat overrated, are now just about cominginto their own as serious long-term clarets.
