Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz Bin 389 1997

South Australia, AustraliaOnce again, the 389 opens with a dark opaque red colour. Penfolds hopes to get the cabernet percentage up into the 60 to 65 percent range but the '97 is a 51/49 blend of cabernet/shiraz. You get most of the Grange character without the price and or the searing intensity. Plums, vanilla, spice, pepper, blackberry jam and mint it's all here. The intensity is turned down a notch in '97 but the tannins remain supple and ripe. Delicious. Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
