What the critics say
86 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 01-05-2018
The 1988 Grand Puy Ducasse is a wine that I last tasted with no less than Michael Broadbent during a bibulous dinner in Tokyo back in 2004. The bouquet has faded since back then but is still nicely defined with cedar and tobacco stained red fruit, a subtle ferrous tincture and cooked meat. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, crisp acidity, lacking substance and a little monotone now on the finish yet with decent length. It is a fading Pauillac but certainly constituted one of the better wines from the estate in this decade. Tasted at the château.

The 1988 Grand-Puy-Ducasse is a lighter-weight version of the 1989, less alcoholic, but more tannic and compact. Nevertheless, it has fine fruit and attractive ripeness. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.
