Year 1988 Wine

The 1988 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional balance and structure, particularly in Bordeaux, where the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon produced wines of great depth and longevity. Burgundy also excelled, with vibrant Pinot Noir displaying ripe fruit and elegant acidity. Compared to the legendary 1982, 1988 offers a more restrained profile, emphasizing finesse over opulence. An intriguing fact is that it coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall, symbolizing change, much like the evolving wine styles of the era.
