Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve 1987

Professional Ratings

• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  Medium brick colored, the 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour gives up scents of prunes, dried blueberries, tobacco and tapenade with touches of mossy bark, bay leaves and dusty soil. Light to medium-bodied, delicately styled and with racy freshness on the savory palate, it has a nice, long earth-laced finish. 16,000 cases were made.

  Generous, soft and big, with a dark ruby color and mint, plum and smoke character. Full-bodied and very velvety, with lots of ripe berry and chocolate flavors and a long, long finish.--Georges de Latour Private Reserve vertical.
