Château Simone Palette Red Rhone Blend 1988

The '88 Rouge is an immense bottle, perfectly in the zone right now. A recent bottle weandnbsp;opened was decanted two hours before tasting in earnest and by the end of the night it was still finding new levels. The tertiary elements that youand#39;d expect of a wine this age were on full display, with hints of leather and forest floor, but what was most impressive was the intensely fresh fruit that was still present. A subtle pine resin note that is a signature of these wines rounds out the finish, and itand#39;s clear this has plenty left in the tank.andnbsp; andnbsp;
