Penfolds Bin 169 is produced only in great vintages, and is the perfect expression of the great terroirs of Coonawarra, a region known for its "terra rossa" clay soil on limestone. Created to reflect a Penfolds contemporary winemaking approach, it emphasises both regionality and maturation of cabernet sauvignon in fine-grained French oak.

Tasting Notes

Bright cherry red, adorned with dark magenta reflections. Red fruits (cranberry, cherry, pomegranate), red liquorice, musk, graphite and black olive are all fragrances mingling in a rich and subtly woody nose. Lively and complex, the palate exhales aromas of red fruits, blood plum, graphite as well as delicate tannins marked by an acidity conferred by chalky terroirs.

Press Comments

James Suckling 98 points "This is really fantastic, with blackcurrants, blackberries, dark tobacco and cassis bush. It’s full-bodied and layered with gorgeous tannins that are caressing and focused. Plush texture, yet it’s focused, framed, bright and vivid. No hints of mint or eucalyptus. A classical approach to Coonawarra cabernet. Needs three to five years to really show its greatness. Best after 2027."
