Domaine Robert Sirugue, Grands Echezeaux 1988

The Grands Echezeaux 1988 from Sirugue is fully mature and show the best side of 1988 fresh and lively acidity and a lovely transparancy. In the bouquet sweet red fruit, sous-bois, hints of truffle and peony rose. On the palate cool transparent red fruit, very balanced but lacking a bit of the velvet feel of the 1978. The acidity is offering good nerve and energy to the wine … drinking very well indeed – a treat and quite impressive for the vintage.
