Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 1987

`Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 1987 is a mature-vintage Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley of California. Robert Mondavi is the undisputed godfather of modern Californian winemaking and the older vintages of Mondavi Cabernets are some of the most sought-after and collectible wines from the region. "This extraordinary wine is backward and unevolved, but even neophytes will recognize its potential greatness. The opaque, saturated, dark purple colour reveals no sign of age. The huge, smoky, oaky, blackcurrant, herb, and vanillin-scented nose only hints at what will be achieved with further evolution. Sweet, decadently rich, dense, highly extracted flavours are wrapped around a full-bodied, chewy, super-concentrated, moderately tannic wine that, ideally, needs seven to eight more years of cellaring. It is a 25 to 30-year California Cabernet Sauvignon that is just beginning to become civilised. A potential legend in the making!" Wine Advocate
