Penfolds, Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon

Penfolds, Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon - Coonawarra 2019

Bin 169, the specificity of Coonawara with the Penfolds signature.

Born of a pioneering spirit in 1844, Penfolds has manifested a lasting legacy of patience, commitment, courage and passion. It is are the proud product of its great winemaking past, of its founders Mary and Christopher Penfold who brought grapes to the bountiful Australian soil and sunshine, and its innovative greats; Alfred Vesey, Ray Beckwith and Max Schubert, celebrated winemaking legends who pushed liquid development to extraordinary new heights. It is with this pioneering spirit and curiosity from its custodian winemakers that this still rings true after nearly two centuries. Penfolds honours and celebrates these traditional winemaking values, as it cultivates great new traditions for next generations. Today, 175 years on, this legacy continues and the house remains one of Australia’s most revered … now and ‘evermore’.

BIN 169 was created to reflect a contemporary winemaking approach, emphasising both regionality and maturation of cabernet sauvignon in fine grained French oak. While the inaugural release of BIN 169 dates back to 1973, it waited 35 years before being re-released in 2008. Bin 169 style is immediately Penfolds, whilst simultaneously illustrative of its ongoing search for diversity and style separation. It is a classic reflection of the region and a testament of Penfolds longstanding commitment to the vineyards of Coonawarra.

2019 Vintage

Peter Gago tells you about this vintage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqOuEAoyRAk

“A very different disposition to all other Penfolds 2019 offerings – this vintage release certainly speaks selectively and sensitively to this region’s soils and climate. After just over a decade following inaugural release, this wine does the region proud – cabernet and Coonawara, the Penfolds way.”
Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker

BIN 169 offre un bouquet légèrement mentholé, délicatement eucalyptus avec des arômes de fruits noirs, d'épices et de cassis. Petite pointe graphite et réglisse à l'aération. Très belle tension de bouche, de l'allonge, du jus, de la fermeté également même si l'ensemble est plutôt sur l'allonge. Une belle bouteille en devenir. 100 % cabernet-sauvignon.

Such impressive freshness to the aromas of pure mulberries, blackcurrants, blueberries, redcurrants and a swathe of roasting herbs, such as bay leaf and sage. Iodine and nori, too. The French oak is nicely subsumed already and there’s fruit purity that really sings here. The palate has a wealth of rich and ripe blue and black-fruit flavors with plenty of extract and depth on offer. This is an impressively bold, smoothly honed and focused cabernet. Fine, polished tannins frame the long finish. Drink over the next decade and more.

Made only in appropriate vintages, and always from Coonwarra, the 2019 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is aromatically reticent at this stage, however the power of the fruit in the mouth in unassailable. It blossoms on the back palate and shows pedigree and impressive stature. This is a supremely elegant wine of poise and detail, couched in a framework of power and dense muscly tannin. We all have our preferences between Bin 707 and Bin 169, but for me, my heart has always been with the 169. I think Cabernet deserves an elegant casing, and that is made from French oak (17 months in French oak, 56% new, to be precise). This is pure, but far too young right now. We know this has decades of graceful development ahead of it.

The 2019 Bin 169 is a beautifully pristine and pure Coonawarra Cabernet that was matured for 17 months in 56% new French Oak hogsheads. It offers up a classic regional expression. Aromas with pinpoint focus display a breath-taking start with leafy cassis, blackberry and cedar aromas nicely interwoven with high quality oak, extraordinary underlying energy and vitality. A delightful seamlessness between mouthcoating tannins and impressive violet and cranberry flavours follow with impeccable balance also on display. With incredible length, this Coonawarra classic will deliver for many years to come.

The 2019 Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, all sourced from Coonawarra, and aged in French oak hogsheads (slightly larger than the classic Bordeaux barriques), 56% new, for 17 months. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a bit of coaxing to release unabashedly bold blackcurrant jelly, blackberry pie, and black cherry compote scents, leading to wafts of tree bark, crushed rocks, unsmoked cigars, and camphor. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a powerful core of black fruits, framed by grainy tannins and a lively line of acidity, finishing with compelling purity.

As I so often find with Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit character is intense, cutting right through to the heart of the grape, focusing on cassis, blueberry, liquorice, flint and graphite. In colour this is bright and defined, with vibrant violet edges. Love the peony and rose petal, but the impresson is mainly about depth, purity, with no veil drawn between you and the fruit. Great quality - not the most celebrated Cabernet in the Penfolds range, but it adds content and character to the story of how they approach this grape. Tasted twice. 100% Coonawarra in origin, 100% French oak, 56% new.

It’s a Film Noir – surprisingly lean in the opening scene, but then it pans out on the wide screen to reveal a full, vivid colour spectrum. As shades of raspberry, blueberry, bay leaf, nutmeg and dusty red earth become noticeable, the flavour line remains long, lean and controlled. Its tight tannic finish suggests an especially long life in the cellar. Released at A$300/bottle.
