Champagne heaven; not just Krug but one from a tiptop year 88; a liver, and with the cask age behind the wine, cleverly together, so much body, power, stout, square yet seminally linear; flavour-bursting; #champagne #krug #1988 #champagneaward #aussies #drinking #thetop — 9 years ago
A great old friend! Bright amber color but a refined delicacy that comes after nearly 30 years in bottle...classic #Rheingau that made for a perfect aperitif wine and at a mere €40 how can one claim?!?! #Riesling #Kabinett #KlosterEberbach #RauenthalGehrn #1988

#1988 #drouhin #chambertin at #chezpanisse #1stweddinganniversary. #grandcru... 9.5 + for the experience. This wine was a beast. Showing beautifully / just hitting its window, this kept opening more over the entire dinner. Almost all secondary on the first whiff- gradually flaunting red and black fruits, Santa Rosa plum, glazed donuts, black truffles, cardamom, and allspice ;) #wordscantdescribe — 10 years ago

Was not expecting much from this 88 BDX but wow did it exceed all expectations. Drinking very well - loved the diet, gravel, cedar, leather. Gorgeous Bordeaux. #1988 #Bordeaux #HautBrion — 8 years ago
