1996 Penfolds BIN 389 Cabernet Shiraz
97 points, Jeremy Oliver
"One of the very best 389s, this wonderfully deep, dark and savoury wine presents a sumptuous, seamless integration of intense spicy dark berry fruits, plums and licorice with smooth, smoky American oak and velvet-like firm tannins. Its restrained strength and balance suggest an exceptional future. "
