About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon 1987
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
The Cabernet Sauvignons from the 1970s and 1980s remains one some of the finest wines of the era. The 1987 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

"Uniquely exotic aromas of liquorice, red musk, camphor and baking spices. The Cabernets offer more depth, power and lasting structure than the dry reds, which are more Cinsault forward. Lifting, firm acidity on the medium-bodied palate with integrated, fine tannins and lasting perfume. Potential to keep further. Impressive.” – Higgo Jacobs, 94/100 (March 2026 – Tasted at recorking.)
