Penfolds Bin 169 Coonawarra 2021

So young that the aromatics are still hidden, silky, dark bitter chocolate, cassis, crushed mint and graphite. Thoroughly delicious, this has so much potential, a total knock out, delivering a slow build and slow construction through the palate. There was no Bin 707 or 169 in 2020 because of wildfires, so this is the first in two years. 100% French oak, 51% new. Tasted in Paris and Bordeaux in the same week. Delicious both times.
