Balanced, Enticing, Complex. Bin 169 reveals both the regional character of Coonawarra terroirs and the strong identity of Cabernet Sauvignon in a contemporary approach.
Loads of flavour and chomp to this full-weighted, highly regional expression. Black currant, blue fruits, clove, verdant herbs, charcuterie and a waft of menthol across a finish framed by malty oak. Yet nothing obtuse. The finish is warm, poised and nourishing. Drink 2025 - 2035 - James Suckling
