4 x Penfolds Bin 138 Grenache Shiraz / GSM 2006
WHAT OTHERS THINK
Succulent. Big fleshy and ripe. Deliciousness factor: high. Effortless swings of fruit, then rolls of silken tannin. Tangy, toasty, fruity, savoury, structured. Wonderful stuff.
Drink 2010 to 2023. 93/100 points.

4 x Penfolds Bin 389 Shiraz Cabernet 2006
WHAT OTHERS THINK
The Penfolds Bin 389 legend continues. This year it’s a blend of cabernet (52 per cent) with shiraz (48 per cent), matured in only twenty-two per cent new oak. Fantastic attack of flavour, grip through the finish, balance and harmony. Complete Australian red wine. Bold but restrained, herbal and vanillin but full of powerful, ripe, assertively dark fruit. The finish is long and satisfying and cabernet’s rugged control keeps the wine’s sense of ‘flow’ strict and focussed.
