2005 BinA Cabernet

Vibrant, deep red colour with purple hues. Ripe, dark fruit/blueberry aromas, eucalypt mint and a hint of violets reflect distinctive Langhorne Creek regional characteristics.

Well structured, opulent blueberry and blackcurrant characters on the palate, balanced French oak flavours well integrated with juicy, tight tannins that ensure excellent length of flavour and elegance. This compelling Cabernet Sauvignon will improve further over the next 10 years.

"94 Points"
 
“This exceedingly limited release is the first of its kind from BIA and it represents nothing less than the most remarkable wine to ever emerge from this estate. Leafy blackcurrant fruit, suggestions of mint and spice, perfectly measured oak, beautifully textured tannins and excellent length- it’s got it all, and all it needs is more time.”
