Penfolds Coonawarra Bin 169 2008

Ruby red in colour, with an edge of mint and cocoa bean on the opening moments, and still-vivid blueberry and raspberry fruit even at 15 years old. Open and welcoming, with melted, gentle tannins, unrolling to show black olive, liqourice, bay leaf, rosemary spice. From four different Coonawarra sites, 100% new French oak, fully integrated at this point. Peter Gago chief winemaker.
