Review Detail

Cabernet Blend August 19, 2013
2006 Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz
Wine Rating
 
88
The 2006 Bin 389 was somewhat of a disappointment given the quality of the vintage and the pedigree of the wine.

The nose has a slight menthol character with drying fruit and prominent oak.

The palate is ok enough with sappy black fruits, olive characters and grainy oak, but I can't help but think its a little one dimensional.

The wine suffers on the finish with unfocused and flat fruit.
