Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2014 not on sale Natural corkIn a word: yes. It's a complete wine. It's drenched in fruit and groans with tannin. It lays dark but powdery chocolate notes over blackcurrant, soy, mint and plum. There's a leafiness, almost a spiciness, but it's gentle, it's seamless. It's powerful but neat; it's silk wrapped around an anvil. No fuss. No hesitation. This release sees Penfolds Bin 389 in top form. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
