Bid on this bottle of 1988 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru (93BH, 93RP, 93VN). Vinous: "The 1988 Chambertin is powerful and burly, but it also lacks the fruit density of the other wines in this tasting that share its virile personality. Hints of tobacco, smoke and leather add shades of complexity. I suspect the 1988 will drink well for another 15+ years, even if it will probably never reach the heights of some of the more profound vintages. I have had better examples of the 1988. (AG)" (08/2017)

Not surprisingly this resembles quite closely the wine in 750 ml (see herein) except that it's a bit fresher and more vibrant. I have noticed that some bottles of the '88 Chambertin are not limpid though it does not appear to affect their attractiveness. Note that even in the larger format this is completely ready to go and there is no upside development potential remaining. Tasted twice in magnum format.

The 1988 Chambertin Grand Cru from Rousseau offers up a complex and pristine bouquet of red and black berries, grilled meat, wood smoke and cedary wood. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, with a firm but fine chassis of tannin and taut but integrated signature 1988 acidity—structural elements framing a Chambertin of great depth and intensity. This is not as ample or authoritative as the very greatest vintages, but in terms of balance, complexity and concentration, it doesn't miss a beat. (WK)
