The 1988 displayed a wonderfully pure, honeyed pineapple-scented nose, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors, fine underlying acidity, an earthiness that added to the wine's complexity, and a clean, rich, crisp finish.
Surprisingly pale ; good botrytis nose. Very sweet, full, rich, good fruit, flesh and acidity.
