Penfolds Bin 180 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz 2021

Cabernet Blends | Coonawarra, South Australia, Australia

Colour

Enlivened deep purple-red, with an impenetrable core.

Nose

At once Coonawarra.  At once Penfolds.  Perhaps not as instantly recognizable as a Cabernet Shiraz blend.  A beguiling otherness, verging on the exotic.

As the cork is extracted an immediate pastrami ‘meatiness’ is propelled – piquantly laced with sauerkraut and Middle Eastern spices.  A pour and swirl reveal an ironstone/carbon black/soot disposition that rationally transitions to more understandable ‘Coonawarra red dirt’ markers.  And then, once rested, welcoming wafts of berried summer-pudding delights elude an amalgam of blueberry/blackberry.

Palate

Regal.  Yet, without contradiction still youthful/bright/vivacious.

A mirror-image of the nose – an honest cross-over.

Chewy tannins wrap around oak/acidity/extract inducing a substantial, velvety mouthfeel.

All the right ingredients for longevity, replete with a solid core – a generous, bountiful mid-palate.  No rough edges, a continuum of just so many flavours that linger and thicken up in glass.

Demands time and patience.

Yet again, not quite Cabernet, not quite Shiraz.  Turbo-charged Coonawarra special.

Peak drinking

Demands time and patience.
