The 2006 Bin 389 Cabernet (52%)-Shiraz (48%) was primarily sourced from Barossa Valley and Langhorne Creek. The wine was aged for 12 months in 22% new American oak hogsheads. Opaque purple-colored, it delivers aromas of mulberry, blackberry, cedar, and Asian spices. On the palate, spicy, ripe black fruits and a hint of tapenade make an appearance. Nicely balanced with several years of aging potential, it can be enjoyed from '11 to '21.
"The Penfolds Bin 389 legend continues. Say what you will about Penfolds and/or Foster’s … Bin 389 has soared on regardless. This year it’s a blend of cabernet (52 per cent) with shiraz (48 per cent), matured in only twenty-two per cent new oak. Fantastic attack of flavour, grip through the finish, balance and harmony. Complete Australian red wine. Bold but restrained, herbal and vanillin but full of powerful, ripe, assertively dark fruit. The finish is long and satisfying and cabernet’s rugged control keeps the wine’s sense of ‘flow’ strict and focussed."

"The composition varies little from vintage to vintage, drawing on the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, the Clare Valley and Bordertown. Great colour, it is an intense and complex wine of great breed, with many layers of chocolate and black fruits, the powerful tannins in balance; American oak likewise. Screwcap; 14.5% alc; to 2036" Rating: 96 James Halliday
