The red wine Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2013 from the winery Penfolds has been rated in 2015 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Coonawarra in Australia.
Deep dark ruby garnet with an opaque core and purple reflections. A subtle brightening of the rim and watery edge suggests some age. The nose is full of intense peppermint - a distinctly eucalyptus character - and black berries. The tightly meshed palate has firm tannins wrapped around a core of fine sweet fruit, leading to a dark minerality on the finish. Accents of bitter dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Already some maturity, with secure development potential.
