The 1988 is a little over the hill for my taste, but it has lots of tangy flavors. If you're a fan of older chardonnay, you can purchase some of the previous Far Niente vintages from the winery. The Dolce, incidentally, also ages extremely well. The 1995 is available as part of a three-bottle collection that also includes the 1993 and 1994 Dolce. It has tangy black-cherry flavors, accented by hints of eucalyptus and allspice and some chocolatey oak.
Supple tannins mean it can be enjoyed now.
