The 1887 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional quality, particularly in Bordeaux and Burgundy. Characterized by rich, ripe fruit flavors like blackcurrant and plum, these wines often exhibit complex aromas of leather, earth, and spice. Favorable weather conditions resulted in balanced acidity and robust tannins, enhancing their aging potential. Remarkably, some bottles are still being enjoyed today, reflecting the era's craftsmanship and the vintage's long-lasting appeal.
