Inside Bordeaux

Jane Anson

2018 Vintage - Tasted: Oct 2021

I always feel with this wine that you are getting to know Cabernet Sauvignon all over again, with its purity of grape expression, and here you get powerful cassis notes combined with liquorice root, bitter orange peel and crushed mint. Bin 169 can sometimes get lost among the Penfold’s range, but this deserves to have its own place at the table. 4,000-5,000 cases overall, was initially released last year but is having a wider release through the Place this September.
