Matured for 16 months in 100% new French oak hogsheads, the 2013 Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra gives a deep garnet-purple color and intense notes of eucalyptus, crème de cassis, cloves and violets. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and with great freshness, while it gets an A+ for exuberance the flavors are a little limited in terms of spectrum. It finishes long and pure.
