The 1987 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers a solid representation of this early vintage from the winery. On the nose, it evokes coffee, dark cherry, thyme, and mint, with pleasant herbal notes and hints of fresh garden soil. The palate showcases flavours of cassis, blackberry, wood, and a touch of graphite. There is a somewhat old-world character to the palate, revealing ripeness without any signs of over-extraction. The finish is marked by dark fruit and stone, accompanied by subtle notes of almond and date.

Full, deep red. More energetic on the nose than the '85, offering scents of currant, plum, herbs, camphor, cassis, cedar and tobacco. Conveys seductive subtle sweetness to its cassis, tea leaf, menthol and licorice flavors. Not fat but nicely pliant and suave, with subtle depth--and not at all edgy like the '82/'83 pair. A succulent wine with firm tannins and noteworthy energy. Stephen Tanzer1st June 2016
