So integrated. The palate has a very silky texture, so plush and polished with a wealth of rich and intense dark-plum, dark-berry and blackcurrant flavors. The oak is completely soaked with ripe, fresh fruit. This is a great Bin 389.

Full-bodied, with cherry flesh complementing the sterner cassis and tobacco notes, it's supple enough to be approachable now, yet with the concentration and requisite dusty tannins on the long finish to support more than a decade of aging.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Cerzinski, Robert Parkers Wine Advocate, July 2020\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"pdp-accordian pdp-accordian-show mob-mb-0\" data-class=\"pdp-taste-note-accordian\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright, crimson red\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLifted, fragrant. Immediately Penfolds. Aficionados may quickly identify and proclaim 389. Opulently: Trifle: layers of custard and port-wine dark jelly with flaked coconut and juniper\/cassis. Cake: old-fashioned hummingbird cake, with coconut flakes and nutty flavours. Overheard: “Petrichor aromas gradating to silkworm-eaten mulberry leaf”. Honestly!?! Familial youthful Bin 389 oak – subtle matchstick and a hint of vanilla powder.

Flavours of roasted beetroot – a venison sauce beetroot reduction … similar texturally to a congealed sweet fat (a custardy emulsion\/film – not a grainy paste). Oak and tannins absorbed. Both are certainly present, yet not at all demanding their own space on this Bin 389 stage.
