The 2020 Bin 389 showed up as a classic Aussie blend, highlighting the complementary nature of cabernet and shiraz in the experienced hands of Penfolds. The wine is noteworthy for its spiced black fruit counterpointed by elements of freshening red cherry and blueberry. Enhancing notes of bitter chocolate, gunpowder, graphite, black olive and sweet, smoky, vanillan oak add gravitas. There's an excellent acid drive and the tannins, although firm, benefit the total outcome. This 389 is in the early stages of its evolution. Cellaring for at least ten years will be beneficial.

Deep crimson. Lovely blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum aromas with roasted chestnut, chinotto, dark chocolate notes. Generously concentrated and beautifully integrated wine with plentiful blackberry, blackcurrant, fruits, fine slinky/ chocolaty, hint al dente/bitter-sweet tannins, superb mid-palate volume, some inky complexity, lovely mocha/ espresso oak notes and fresh long juicy acidity. Builds up claret firm with graphite minerally notes. Very impressive extract, density and torque. A reference Penfolds wine. McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Padthaway. 12 months maturation in American (33% new) and seasoned oak hogsheads Drink 2025 – 2038 14.5% alc 97 points
