Robert Parker Score: 91 points
Reviewer: Joe Czerwinski — October 2018 Penfolds New Releases3 Oct 2018
Drink 2020–2035
The 2016 Cabernet / Shiraz Bin 389 is a blend of 51% Cabernet and 49% Shiraz, the least amount of Cabernet you'll ever see in this bottling. It's dark and stolid, with notes of cassis and blackberry along with touches of vanilla and cedar. Full-bodied and dense, it's firmly in the Penfolds style and the style of this particular bottling, which always ages well, even if it's not the flashiest or most flamboyant offering from Penfolds. At more than 14,000 cases for the United States, it should be relatively easy to find.

Drink: Drink now 2045
Deep crimson. Intense blackberry pastille, chinotto, dark chocolate with herb garden notes. Inky deep, sweet blackberry jam, praline, cola flavours, vigorous firm tannins, fresh marzipan, espresso, vanilla oak notes and vibrant juicy acidity. Chocolaty firm finish. "Sinewy flesh on a neatly constructed frame." (NR) 14.5% alc "A potent wine with depth and sophistication that demands respect. Sooty tannins swarm and coat the palate, providing the luxurious fruit with much-needed traction. This feels like a wine made from Bin 707 and St Henri ingredients, such is its build-quality. Atypical and astonishingly attractive." (MJ) 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Shiraz Barossa Valley (32%), Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Wrattonbully
