Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz Bin 389 1999

South Australia, AustraliaPenfolds is still trying to raise the cabernet portion of this wine to the 60 to 65 percent range but the '99 is only 51 percent cab taken from Padthaway, Barossa and Coonawarra. Big spicy, peppery, garrigue, sweaty barnyard, blackberry and game aromas. It's still dry and tight with some rough tannins to drop. Look for spicy, earthy, vanilla, blackberry leather and game flavours. Big and structured but a bit unripe in the tannins and showing more cabernet than shiraz. Will need time to fatten up smooth out. Try again in 2-4 years. Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
