Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz Bin 389 2006
South Australia, AustraliaA part of the components of Bin 389 is still matured in the same barrels that are used in the previous vintage of Grange. Now in its 46th vintage the wine remains true to its roots using the structure of cabernet and softens that with the richness of shiraz. The '06 blend is a 52/48 mix of cabernet and shiraz age in American oak ONLY 22 percent of which is new. Look for big brambleberry/mulberry/blueberry fruit notes with bits of sausage and dried herbs. The palate is packed with warm round ripe fruit with an underpinning of olives and spicy oak. A good year for 389 with another 10 to 15 ahead before it reaches its peak. A fine improvement over the 1995.Tasted: 05 August 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
