Leafy cassis notes mark the nose of the 2016 Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's also floral yet dense and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, it exudes class and balance at the same time. It's a super expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Australia's premier regions for the grape variety, ending on lingering notes of cocoa, cassis and pencil shavings.
Vinous: 95 Points
Brilliant violet color. Intense red and dark berry liqueur, licorice, cigar box and candied rose aromas are sharpened by a vibrant mineral overtone. Offers sappy blackcurrant, bitter cherry, cola and mocha flavors that slowly deepen and pick up a smoky nuance with air. A sweet chewing tobacco note adds a hint of earthiness that carries through a strikingly long, dark fruit-dominated finish that exhibits excellent focus and smooth, even tannins.
