From the start, most attractive fruit and flesh. On its tenth birthday, still youthful; fragrant; characteristically lean, but flavoury and refreshing. A good Prieuré and a pleasing 1988.
Tart, focused cherry and currant flavors struggle against a tide of tannin and succeed in making this a generous wine that needs to gain polish with cellaring until 1997 to 2001
The 1988 is a light to medium-bodied, perfumed and well-balanced wine that avoids the green tannins and astringence of many 1988's. Medium dark ruby, with an attractive bouquet of wood, currants, herbs, and minerals, this stylish wine is tasty and elegant.
