About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon 1988
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
The Cabernet Sauvignons from the 1970s and 1980s remains one some of the finest wines of the era. The 1988 is mature and composed with classic Cabernet Sauvignon characters.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim, under the protection of an argon gas blanket, with each opened bottle being topped up with reserve wine from the same vintage, recorked, and resealed. This was done under the supervision of a technical team from Amorim Corks and Strauss & Co Fine wine Specialists Higgo Jacobs and Roland Peens, assuring provenance, quality and long life. The Seal code on the neck of the bottle can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Critics Ratings

'Bright and light in the glass. Savoury at first, quite earthy, roast lamb and rich warm, mushroom, ripe fruit and some oak. Dry and savoury, fresh finish. Mineral frame and French-like poise from 15% Cinsaut. it should keep for another decade or more.' - Roland Peens, 94/100 (March 2026 – Tasted at recorking.)
