Chateau Haut Brion 1988Pessac-Leognan
4bn, 1ts, 7lscl
Half-Bottle (12)
The Dressage Collection – A standout consignment from a repeat New Jersey consignor, featuring an impressive lineup of Bordeaux. All wines have been stored in a temperature-controlled home cellar.
"The 1988 Haut Brion is another vintage that I have not seen for a number of years. It has a light, maybe slight smudged nose that is quite leafy in style, autumnal, hints of bay leaf and a light marine influence developing but never quite delivering the vigor of its sibling, the 1988 La Mission Haut-Brion. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin on the entry, a fine thread of acidity, but I would argue this is too simple for a First Growth in a decent vintage like this, does not engage or charm like the 1985 or 1986. Of course, matter would be redressed by the legendary 1989 Haut Brion. The 1988? It is more like a footnote to Jean-Bernard Delmas's crowning glory that arrived 12 months later." (90 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2018)
"A more firmly structured Haut-Brion, built somewhat along the lines of the 1996, this dark garnet-colored wine is showing notes of licorice, underbrush, compost, truffles, dried herbs, creosote, and sweet black cherries and currants. Medium-bodied, rich, but still structured, this wine unfolds incrementally on the palate, showing superb density and a lot of complex Graves elements." (92 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2002)
