Mature notes of cigar box mark the nose of the 1996 Cabernet / Shiraz Bin 389. It still has plenty to give, as it seems to be on a lovely plateau of maturity that should last at least another five years. Tobacco, cedar and vanilla notes are balanced by hints of dried cherries and red plums. It's medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins that linger elegantly on the finish.

Deep crimson. Developed kiwi polish, dark cherry, dark chocolate, earthy bush garrigue, chinotto with herb garden notes. Fresh black cherry, mulberry, praline, roasted chestnut, wax polish flavours, fine loose-knit chalky firm textures and underlying notes. Generous and minerally with some high-tensile acidity at the end. "Quiet, restrained, harmonious fine-grained. The couture fruit perfectly conceals the impeccable tannins. A stealthy wine and one carries itself with a graceful air." (MJ) 14% alc "Brambly fruit and faded violets, some coffee cream and dry needles. Tight, sinewy, wrapped tight in a crushed velvet sheath tannins. A lingering scent of bush garrigue." (NR) 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Shiraz Barossa Valley (30%), Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra
