The 1988 reveals layer upon layer of honeyed pineapple-and orange-scented and -flavored fruit, vibrant acidity, high levels of botrytis, and a fabulously long, yet well-focused finish. It is a great wine. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Last tasted 11/94

Climens made such a spectacular 1986 it is hard to believe the 1988 may ultimately be superior. I am not sure it will, but, nevertheless, they certainly turned in another superstar performance in 1988. What makes Climens so stunning is its penetrating acidity, combined with the fabulous richness and complexity this estate seems to routinely obtain. The 1988 has layer upon layer of honeyed pineapple and orange-scented and flavored fruit, vibrant acidity, high levels of botrytis, and a fabulously long yet well-focused finish. It is a great wine, but don't bet the farm that it will turn out to be better than their profound 1986. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2015. Last tasted, 6/93.

Extremely polished and complex, showing beautiful dried herb, grass, honey and pine flavors. Has a long finish, medium body and just-so sweetness. Drink now through 2000.
