The 2016 'Bin 389' is comprised of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz and was aged 12 months in American oak hogsheads (37% new). The nose takes on wonderful blue fruit aromas along with black tea and Asian spices adding complexity. The mouthfeel and texture is plush and inviting, delivering layers of dark berries, roasted fig and coffee ground flavors which are all underlined by notable acidity keeping it fresh through the finsih. While this is gorgeous in its youth, it should also continue to cellar well over the course of the next decade.
