Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2023 Review
This is a quintessential example of an Australian Cabernet and Shiraz blend. Bold, powerful, meaty, and full-bodied, it comes in at a hefty 14.5 percent ABV. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a beautifully balanced wine. It opens with a rich nose of cracked peppercorns, minerals, and ripe blackberries. The palate packs a punch with a deep core of black fruit supported by savory notes and grippy tannins.
