“Bin 169 Coonawarra is delightful with a powerful core” - Angus Hughson (Vinous)
BIN 169 bestaat sinds 2008 en wordt gezien als de elegante tegenhanger van de meer bombastisch gestileerde BIN 707. Het zijn beide monocépages van cabernet sauvignon, maar totaal anders van karakter, mede door de houtopvoeding op Frans tegenover Amerikaans eiken.
BIN 169 wordt gezien als de meest sierlijke en elegante tussenbeide. Toch gaat een omschrijving als ‘lichtvoetig’ hier niet noodzakelijk op. Coonawarra staat bekend om cabernets met stevige, compacte structuur. De Franse houtopvoeding maakt de wijn bovendien wat ‘serieuzer’ en gewichtiger. Met tijd ontwikkelt BIN 169 zich volgens Erin Larkin (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) bovendien een fascinerend en diepgaand karakter dat onder andere doet denken aan bladeren en sigarendoos.
“Coonawarra, once again, shines very brightly in the 2021s and 2022s, especially with the BIN 707 and BIN 169.”, schreef Angus Hughson (Vinous). De grootse wijnjaren in Australië verklaren zijn 96 punten voor deze wijn en belangrijker nog; de kwaliteit ervan. BIN 169 maakt dit jaar, in lijn met de andere wijnen, een klassiekere indruk, harmonieuzer en ondanks het rijke smaakprofiel iets beter gedoseerd.
De wijn hinkt op twee gedachten: enerzijds is het donker van kleur, met rijk mondgevoel met krachtige tanninestructuur, die mede zorgt voor een lange afdronk. Daar passeren alle aroma’s en smaken de revue, die ook bij het bouquet horen: sappig fruit in de vorm van zwarte bessen en bramen, cassis en rijpe pruimen met peper en warme specerijen, aardse tonen en de indruk van tabak. Die laatste impressies zullen zich met enkele jaren rijping extra ontwikkelen en nog meer complexiteit en diepgang aan de wijn geven.

This is really fantastic, with blackcurrants, blackberries, dark tobacco and cassis bush. It’s full-bodied and layered with gorgeous tannins that are caressing and focused. Plush texture, yet it’s focused, framed, bright and vivid. No hints of mint or eucalyptus. A classical approach to Coonawarra cabernet. Needs three to five years to really show its greatness. Best after 2027.

"The Bin 169 is Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra and matured in French oak. The 2022 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is succulent and fresh. Certainly, it is powerfully structured and concentrated but manages vitality and detail. It is Coonawarra more than anything, and in a great, ferruginous, pure sort of way. In terms of context, I like this vintage as much as the 2010 vintage, which I view to be the greatest Bin 169 made since its inception in 2008. I note that I have historically given the 2019 a higher score the 2021; however, on other occasions have scored it several points lower. Different bottles, different environments. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Stylistically, this cuvée tends to be viewed as an elegant iteration of Cabernet Sauvignon, within the context of the collection. This is true, to a certain extent. However, it is possessed of imposing structure and firm tannins, the impact of which is softened in the Bin 707 due to its élevage in American oak. This rigid, imposing, tannin structure of the Bin 169 is indicative of the style inherent in Coonawarra, and it sits well within the wine. While I prefer French oak influence in Cabernet generally, I find the Bin 169 wine has less flesh and less cushioning than its sibling 707 and will evolve in a leafier, ""cigar box"" direction. They are quite different styles, with distinct futures ahead of them."

This wonderfully expressive 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 169 Coonawarra is delightful with a powerful core of youthful, focused and energetic fruit still tightly bound. It then manages to balance layers of vibrant flavors with a significant load of tannins before tightening up on the finish. Embryonic today, but promises much over the next two decades.

A steady growing season in Coonawarra during 2022 provided fruit that is more restrained and focused than assertive. As a result, the mulberry and plum tones are kept in check with black olive and cassis to favour savoury tones ahead of sweet. While the palate texture is already rich, long and velvety, it has the sturdy architecture and tension in its tannin profile to deliver an especially strong wine after a decade of cellaring.

Dark purple. Very rich nose. And then such a firm structure. Makes one sit up! Long. Elegant and refreshing. Long and complete. Sophisticated. Bone-dry finish. Very pure and transparent.

Inky plum in colour, clearly no issues with colour extraction in what was a relatively long and cool growing season. Things are a little earthier on the palate than usual, still with brambled hawthorn and blackberry fruits, tannins young and a little austere but with a ton of fresh capsicum and white pepper spice running through them. 67th vintage of this wine, from the oldest estate in the Coonawarra region.
