Robert Parker Score: 88 points
Reviewer: Robert M. Parker, Jr. — 11523 Feb 1998
Drink 1998–2008
The 1994 Cabernet/Shiraz Bin 389, a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Shiraz, possesses a dense purple color, and a big, sweet nose of blackberries, earth, and a touch of asphalt and smoke. Full-bodied, with copious quantities of sweet, chewy fruit, this is a large-scaled, dense wine that can be drunk now or cellared for up to a decade. This winery continues to turn out an insipid selection of white wines, but the reds are all noteworthy, and some are reasonably good values.

Penfolds — The Rewards of Patience, Ninth Edition
Drink: Drink now 2040
Deep crimson. Intense dark cherry, dark chocolate, demi-glace aromas with mint liquorice notes. Richly flavoured and chocolaty with ample dark cherry praline fruits, fine chalky/leafy textures, attractive mid-palate volume/buoyancy and fresh long acidity. Finishes chocolaty firm. "Structure is leaning towards chunky and blocky." (NR) The tannins are beginning to dominate. A cool late vintage. Should develop another decade. 14.3% alc 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Shiraz Coonawarra (44%), Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Padthaway
