About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1999
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 and since it’s modern era makeover in 1993 it has been under the guidance of maverick spirit, Marc Kent. Unafraid to experiment with the unconventional, Marc is the chief winemaker and driving force behind the dynamic farm, co-founded by the similarly innovative late Tim Rands.

Critics Ratings

‘Much bigger, plusher tones than previous; seriously substantial - in richness, ripe-fruited density rather than alcohol (13.6%); probing, classic, terroir-reflective blackberry/cassis flavours in fine, insistent tannin wrapping.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2002, 5*

‘The outstanding, saturated dark ruby-colored 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is reminiscent of a St. Julien from a great, ripe vintage. Sweet black currant, spices, and blackberries can be discerned in its effusive aromas. This medium to full-bodied wine has gorgeous depth of fruit, an elegant, almost feminine personality, and a long pure finish. Cassis, other assorted black fruits, blueberries, and cherries are found throughout its silky-textured core.’ - Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Apr 2002)
