PENB169V08
The wine spent 18 months in new French oak, and is fundamentally different to Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep purple-crimson, it has exceptional focus, intensity and length, cedary notes of French oak precisely woven through the vibrant blackcurrant fruit, reaching a crescendo on the finish. It follows in the footsteps of a one-off Coonawarra cabernet from the 1973 vintage, also given the Bin 169 tag.

Deep, dense red/purple, saturated colour. Powerful blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry aromas, magical nose. Very intense and finely structured with slender, powdery tannins and great elegance. A quite different wine in style - not just varietal - from the RWT, its putative partner. Marvelous wine. Graceful, long and beautifully harmonised. 28 MAR 2012n
