WTN: 88 Lafite

Well, I only own one 1988 - Cos D'Estournel - and hope to open it within the next couple of months. I'll be very disappointed if it is totally dried out.

If you stored it well, fingers crossed it should be good.

Let me tell you something:

This was a golden era for Cos D'Estournel...I did not mention on the other thread that the 1989 Cos was spectacular and now surpasses the 1989 Montrose. The 1986 Cos is also a barnstormer and the 1985 is an over-achiever too.

Jenise - you are bad! The best of the 88s (a vintage I rather like for the classic framework) is the Margaux for me. Had one recently and it was brilliant - much better than the Mouton for instance.

I have some Pichon Baron I haven't gotten into yet - a very good wine in this vintage.
