An exemplary expression of this style, this stylish, smooth and finely balanced red has a deeply fruited and handsomely oaked bouquet of red and black berries with earthy and floral undertones backed by suggestions of cedar, dried herbs and cola. Finely tuned and polished, with a searingly intense length of blackberries, cassis, red berries and dark plums tightly knit with chocolate/cedar oak and firmish, chalky tannins, it finishes long and stylish with ample balance and focus. It will become very velvety with time.
A sumptuous, polished and deeply ripened expression of this label whose classic aromas of intense black and red berries, tightly knit chocolate/vanilla oak are backed by smoky, meaty notes and suggestions of spice and pepper. Despite the depth and searingly concentration of its berry flavours, the fineness of its tannins means it almost borders on elegance, finishing with a genuine length and crescendo of lingering, fiery fruit and smoky, chocolatey nuances.
A finer-grained and more elegant Bin 389 that despite its obvious charm lacks the length and drive of the great vintages. Its distinctively floral, peppery and spicy perfume of pristine small dark berries and plums reveals smoky, cedary and chocolatey oak influences plus a hint of mineral. Firmish and full-bodied, itÕs supported by a fine, crunchy spine and unfolds a fiery core of cassis, plum and blackberry flavour that extends with pleasing but not remarkable length.
Long and linear, with a peppery, faintly mineral bouquet and a relatively simple presence of black and blue fruits, cedary oak and roasting tray elements underpinned by a powdery spine of drying tannins. Finishing cool and minty, with assertive menthol/eucalypt Wrattonbully-derived notes, itÕs well made but lacks the labelÕs customary intensity and richness.
Sumptuous and stylish; dark plums, cassis and redcurrants and polished oak backed by notes of baked earth. Long and focused, with a fiery core of impactful fruit and a crunchy spine of drying tannins backed by spicy, meaty undertones, it finishes with drive and structure. A genuine Bin 389.
Polished, measured and evenly paced, this generously flavoured and classically robust 389 reveals a fiery, earthy, faintly minty bouquet of red berries, blood plums and sweet vanilla oak overlying suggestions of dark olives and roasting pan drippings. Its deep, almost plump core of black, red and blue fruit drives long and earthy over a firmish spine of fine, crunchy tannins, easily carrying its handsome but artfully balanced oak. Although already approachable and with no hard edges, itÕs a long-term classic.
Smooth and ripe, with polished cedary oak and a fine, drying backbone, this is a Bin 389 lite that lacks its expected weight, drive and structure. Smoky, creamy aromas of cassis, blueberries and blackberries and blue fruits, mocha and dark chocolates precede a relatively simple and skeletal palate that become quite powdery and astringent towards the finish. Despite the stellar scores given by most Australian wine critics, IÕm happy to maintain that while this is a good wine, it pales against the great vintages of this worthy label.
What do you get from spending $100 on one of AustraliaÕs signature red wine labels? A simple, juicy and faintly minty bouquet of red and black berries backed by smoky, cedary oak and a forward, marginally hollow palate lacking genuine concentration and drive. ThereÕs some forward brightness and a fine, gravelly spine, but while the wine does reveal more expression with aeration, it appears rather over-made for its modest depth of flavour. Not to be compared in any way to the vintages that made this labelÕs reputation.
Dusty scents of violets, cassis with smoky, cigarboxy oak, tobacco leaf and dried herbs overlie suggestions of mushrooms and underbrush. A classical South Australian cabernet, with richness and structure, its pleasing length of small bright red and black berry flavour and polished cedary oak overlies a fine, chalky spine, extending seamlessly towards a supple, measured finish.
