Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2019 750ml 6支原箱優惠 (Cork version)

COLOUR: Darkened deep red 

NOSE: Ample self-standing fruits already beginning to yield to other vinous intents …Cola, grated chocolate and cappuccino dust bind with juniper, sage/rosemary spices.A flash of brown sugar and liquorice – not quite in the Marsala spectrum – instead, brandy impressions replaced byblood orange-rind (dehydrated/candied).Oak somewhat partially hidden, yet faint scents of cedar, pencil shavings and graphite lobby for further bottle maturation.Not the liberated scents of a beef sauce reduction, nor a complete charcuterie offering, yet singular notes of air-driedbresaola (bison) will suffice!Unabashed (Baby Grange) complexities. 

PALATE: Instantly fresh and fleshy.Some overt single-varietal cabernet and shiraz fruits still sit separate - alongside those hybridised via the blend’s sojournin barrel and bottle …time will unite.Expected liquorice, stewed plum and blackcurrant fruits, with dark chocolate and mocha lurking in the background.Savoury and salivating – mouth-watering, succulent acidity. This acidity interplays with integrated, evolved tannins –coating the mouth and adding length.Yes, impressive length, with concentration, and a mandatory Bin 389 ‘sweet’ core; oak completely absorbed.Polished and refined.
