2009 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Bin 169 is a contemporary Penfolds reflection and showcase of Cabernet and of Coonawarra.

This wine symbolically guards Bin 707 in the same reverent way that RWT shields Grange.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

91+/100

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon presents an intensely minty nose with undertones of ripe cassis, eucalyptus, cedar and a touch of herbs.

Ripe and expressive in the mouth it has bright acid and medium levels of very fine tannins, it finishes concentrated and long.

Drink it from 2014 to 2024+.
