A slightly different 389 this year. Full bodied - yes, but without the sumptuousness of some vintages. The wine feels like it is still coming together, so cellaring is recommended. At this point the flavours range around blackberry, dark plum, black pudding, graphite, dark chocolate, damp earth, licorice and glossy oak. Firm and a little unyielding at present, but multi-faceted and long, with the potential to meld well in the future.

Deep crimson. Fresh blackcurrant, mulberry, black cherry, dark chocolate aromas with roasted chestnut, cedar, liquorice notes. Full bodied and evenly balanced wine with inky cassis, mulberry black cherry fruits, fine grainy slightly grippy tannins, attractive mid-palate volume and roasted chestnut cedar wood notes. Finishes vigorously firm with plentiful sweet fruit notes. Quite muscular in attack but has the density and the richness to carry the tannins. A dark horse vintage with the shape of Bin 389 and the torque of Bin 707.
