La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, (Magnum) 2020
We find La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion slightly intimidating to classify. Calling it a 'second wine' feels like calling the Duke of Edinburgh a spare. This 2020 magnum delivers the power and sophistication that makes Pessac-Léognan famous, with the blackcurrant intensity and mineral backbone that earned it 96 points from James Suckling.
Penfolds, Bin 169 2019
The Penfolds Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 opens with a deep garnet hue and aromas of blackcurrant, mulberries, blueberry, and raspberry, underpinned by herbal notes like bay leaf and sage, and a subtle hint of iodine and cocoa powder. It’s structured and intense: rich dark fruit meets finely‐grained tannins, lively acidity and mineral drive, followed by a long, polished finish. This wine is 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon from the terra rossa soils of the Coonawarra region, matured for 17 months in French oak hogsheads. The Penfolds story goes back to 1844, and today it stands as one of Australia’s most established and iconic wineries. Under legendary winemaking leadership, the house continues to combine heritage vineyards with modern technique, especially in regions like Coonawarra, to deliver wines of power and precision.
