tobacco and wet chalk

This is really quite pretty and a wine that should amply reward mid-term cellaring

with superb concentration and depth at the core and a long

delicious and saline-inflected flavors that display good focus and sneaky persistence on the balanced finish

Penfolds, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz other_regions_italy tobacco and wet chalk51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Shiraz. From Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra. Aged 12 months in American oak hogsheads (37% new). TA 6. 9 g l, pH 3. 64. Rich bramble fruit with milk chocolate, sweet spice and a lovely fennel character on the mid palate. Firmly tannic, and with great persistence that moves into a very savoury finish after all that primary ripeness. Stately length. Just stays the right side of oak
