Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon

Lively, stylish, confidently and assertively medium-bodied, Coonawarra. Rhubarb compote carries over onto the palate, energised by blackcurrant and quince allies and red fruits (cranberry and persimmon).Tomato chutney/relish/pulp… giving way to savoury tapenade, Dutch red licorice. The feature here is texture … structurally woven, a mesh rather than a coating – tightened by oak, bound by powdery Coonawarra Cabernet tannins. Good grip, natural acidity. Deep and long.
