Cabernet Sauvignon 1986

Provenance

This lot comes from the late Harold Eedes, who served as Managing Director of Wine Magazine for nine years. A highly respected and much-loved figure in the South African wine industry, Harold assembled a thoughtful collection that includes a number of mature Bordeaux wines. The wines have been professionally stored under temperature-controlled conditions at Brice & Burnett since acquisition.

Critics Ratings

"Incredible power and structure here, and quintessentially Cabernet in its make-up. Cedar, cassis, olive, bouquet garni and even graphite. The palate still coats and grips the mouth, with rich inner black fruit and lovely drying tannins. Price adjusted downwards for the condition of the labels, but the content is pure pedigree.” – Higgo Jacobs, 96/100 (March 2026)
