Vintage 1988

1988 VINTAGE in Burgundy / 1988 has been a good vintage in Burgundy, with enough quantity to offset the revived demand of our foreign and home customers.​

Written Notes

A trio of Musignys from three different vintages and three different producers paid homage to this hallowed terroir.  The 1988 Roumier Musigny had a spectacular nose.  This was the 4th time I had this rare wine in the last year, just one of those things.  I think that is close to 1% of the production!  That would be like drinking 1000 bottles of Lafite I think, for reference purposes only, of course.  The Roumier was rich and delicious with an iron clad finish.  There was nice dryness to its long finish, showing the tannins of the vintage, and black and purple fruits balanced with vitamins and more iron (97+).

The 1988 vintage has an herbal tone with restrained flavors that are not that impressive on the nose. But the palate is delightful – sensual, ripe tannins intertwine with flavor of dried blackberries, thyme and earth. The wine rises to a crescendo in the finish and lingers for more than 15 seconds. This is a vintage that piques my curiosity and makes me want to revisit it again to taste its evolution in a year’s time.
