Robert Parker: The best showing yet for a wine from this
under-rated vintage, the dark garnet-colored 1988 Latour reveals
slight amber at the edge. A bouquet of melted tar, plums, black
currants, cedar, and underbrush is followed by a sweet entry, with
medium to full body, excellent ripeness, and mature tannin. It is a
classic, elegant Latour with more meaty, vegetable-like flavors
than are found in a riper year, such as 1989 and 1990. The 1988 has
just begun to enter its plateau of maturity, where it should remain
for 25 years. Anticipated maturity: now-2025
