"The opportunity for Penfolds to create a bold and bombastic blend to commemorate its 180th anniversary must have been tempting, and I love that it chose a very different and compelling path, highlighting not the grandeur of the warmer regions of South Australia in new American oak but the definition and tension of Coonawarra in the epic and cool 2021 season, sensitively framed in seasoned French oak. The definitive Australian blend has been recreated here with classic, fine-boned precision, singing with all the lifted brightness of this cool, traditional season. The crunchy redcurrant and blackcurrant fruit of cabernet sauvignon is perfectly integrated with the blackberries of shiraz. Fine-grained, limestone-mineral tannins like only Coonawarra can conjure are perfectly harmonised with the structural support of French oak. The result is one of the finest wines of the modern era of Penfolds and the epitome and exemplar that less is indeed oh so much more. 99 points."
"This is a sumptuous wine, with immaculate balance, bright acidity, silky tannins, and an alluring finish. A complete wine, one which will provide immense pleasure for the next thirty years. 99 Points."
"The impactful and beautifully balanced 2021 Bin 180 Cabernet Sauvignon, bottled to celebrate Penfolds’ 180th Anniversary this year, highlights top-notch Coonawarra provenance and intuitive winemaking."
Enlivened deep purple-red, with an impenetrable core.
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) V.A. 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.
Regal. Yet, without contradiction still youthful/bright/vivacious. A mirror-image of nose – an honest cross-over. Chewy tannins wrap around oak/acidity/extract inducing a substantial, velvety mouthfeel. Indeed, one that is sensitively indulged by its conveyance in 100% 1-y.o. oak. 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. Early days. Yet again, not quite Cabernet, not quite Shiraz. Turbo-charged Coonawarra. Special.
An outstanding vintage: Coonawarra experienced a drier than average winter. However, the total rainfall over the growing season was just below the long-term average. Spring was notably warm, November especially up to +3°C on the norm. Conditions for flowering were the best reported in 20 years resulting in excellent fruit set. February was wetter than average with a timely inch of rain falling over the 5th and 6th. A peak of extreme heat occurred in January and February. Healthy soil moisture ensured the vines continued to thrive. Overall, the summer and autumn weather provided ideal growing conditions, allowing both shiraz and cabernet sauvignon grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.
