Lot #456. Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select 1987

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 90 RP.
". . . The wine is superb, exhibiting far greater richness, intensity, and complexity than the shy, backward aromatics suggest. The youthful, opaque dark purple color is followed by a . . . pure, rich, intense wine with adequate acidity, moderate tannin, and layers of ripe, highly-extracted fruit in the finish. Although approachable, the 1987 is far from mature . . . . Nevertheless, it is an impressive Cabernet Sauvignon . . ." Wine Advocate #99, Jun 1995
Provenance: The Manoir Cellar
Notes: Corroded capsule, very lightly scuffed label.
