2010 Penfolds, Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, Australia

Description

Very dark with black bright core. Lovely spice and cigar box aroma. Very pure cassis and cassis leaf. Just a touch of mintiness on the palate. Tastes like a ripe bordeaux. Terrific compact fruit and tannins yet so refined. Some graphite on the finish. Long, firm but so elegant. Finesse in the structure and the fruit less obviously sweet than on some of the wines in this new-release line up. The fruit has just eaten up the oak.

Penfolds

Penfolds enjoys an iconic status that few New World producers have achieved. Established in 1844 at the Magill Estate near Adelaide, it laid the foundation for fine wine production in Australia. The winemaking team is led by the masterful Peter Gago; it has the herculean task of blending the best wines from a multitude of different plots, vineyards and regions to create a consistent and outstanding range of wines. Its flagship wine, Grange, is firmly established as one of the finest red wines in the world. Under Gago’s stewardship, the Penfolds range has evolved over time. Winemaking has moved away from New World heat and the sort of larger-than-life style that can mask individuality; the contemporary wines instead favour fine balance and typicity for the region or grape.
