Item Description
This item is three (3) bottles of wine. The 1995, 1996 and 1999 Behrens and Hitchcock "Ink Grade" Cabernet.
The 1999 Ink Grade received a 92-95 by The Wine Advocate in Issue 132. It 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.
The 1996 Ink Grade received a 91-92 rating, as reviewed in Wine Advocate # 120 on Dec-98. It exhibits a saturated purple color, followed by a fragrant nose of exotic black fruits (blueberries and cassis). In the mouth, subtle doses of attractive floral notes, spice, and vanillin emerge. This multi-layered wine possesses sweet tannin, a voluptuous texture, and superb concentration and purity. It is a sexy, opulently-styled Cabernet Sauvignon to drink when released and over the next 15 years.
The 1995 Ink Grade received a 92/100 rating, as reviewed in Wine Advocate # 118 on Aug-98. It is among the superstars of the 1995 vintage. Ripe and dense, with fabulous flavor concentration, and a long, multi-layered, textured personality that caresses and saturates the palate with copious quantities of fruit, glycerin, and richness, this is a large-scaled, but beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that should be at its best with another 2-3 years of cellaring, and last for 15 or more years.
