The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Inkgrade (300 cases of 15.1% alcohol) has an opaque purple color, an intense, very fragrant nose of creme de cassis, smoky new oak, mineral, and almost floral-infused blueberry and blackberry notes. The wine is unctuously textured, with the new wood totally absorbed. Acidity and tannin are also beautifully integrated. This wine should be relatively accessible upon release, and last for up to two decades.
