Paul Sauer 1992

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

'In latest 1992 release, acid 5,7gms/l, mediu-paced 12,5% alc. (usullay nearer 13%). Typical Kanonkop nuttiness with sweet, ripe berry finish. Estates's regulation 18 months in oak, 50% new barrels. Truter believes 1992 slots between excellent 1994 and 1991 (latter VG, gold medal at Brussels Mondiale). Though quite impressively multi-layered, with consistent character - rugged, not fashioned to namby pamby finesse - 1992 probably won't have reach of either, nor of super-vintage 1986.' - Platter's SA Guide 1996 - 4*
