Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2018 750ml

Balance of the sweet (cabernet) and the savoury (shiraz). Possesses what has now often been referred to as a black forest cake 2018 vintage flavour profile. Darker fruits - closer to that of a black cherry liqueur than a creme de cassis component of Kir. Flavours of roasted beetroot - a venison sauce beetroot reduction . similar texturally to a congealed sweet fat (a custardy emulsion/film - not a grainy paste). Oak and tannins absorbed. Both are certainly present, yet not at all demanding their own space on this Bin 389 stage. Substantial, intense.
