1988 DRC Echezeaux Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - BurgHound.com 92 points, The Wine Advocate 92 points, Wine Spectator 92 points, CellarTracker 91 points, John Kapon Vintage Tastings 91 points. This is the tasting note for 1988 DRC Echezeaux Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - An attractively complex nose displays mostly sous bois-infused aromas of spice, tea and dried rose petals. There is good richness and detail to the agreeably vibrant and concentrated flavors that possess a mildly rustic finish that is beginning to evidence just a trace of dryness. I have tasted this wine many times though not recently and based on this bottle I would advise drinking up sooner than later as I suspect that the dryness will become more pronounced with time.
