1988 Cordier Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes 375

Fresh, lifted, sweet, candied tangerines, orange rind, pineapple, and mango with loads of caramel, butterscotch, and spice on the nose and palate. This has moved slightly past its peak, so there is no reason to age this any longer. It is best if it's consumed over the next few years. Drink from 2022-2028.

Critical Acclaim

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The massively rich, yet fresh, lively 1988 offers a compelling, flowery, honeyed bouquet of vanilla custard, buttery orange/apricot scents, and smoky creme brulee. The wine's zesty acidity brings everything into extraordinary clarity. With plenty of botrytis evident, this is a full-bodied, super-concentrated, fascinating, powerful yet elegant Sauternes that will age beautifully for 25-30 years. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2030.

93 Wine Spectator

Yellow and gold color. Beautiful honey, lemon cream pie and dried pineapple. Full-bodied, very sweet and layered, with loads of butterscotch, cream and honey on the finish. Powerful, rich and complex.
