Ratings and Tasting Notes:

(WS=91) Fresh mushroom, milk chocolate, blackberry, and prune follow through to a full body, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Still shows lovely fruit and caressing tannins. Complex and cuddly. Will improve with age. '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 8,000 cases made.

(RP=89) The finest La Louviere I have tasted, the 1988 is a concentrated, well-balanced wine possessing a delectable roasted, cassis fruitiness that expands on the palate. Impressively concentrated, with an opulent texture, and velvety tannins, this complete wine should provide delicious drinking over the next decade
