2014 Penfolds Bin 389

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 27, 2018 - Reviewing 389 is so easy. Vintage variation is there, but it never changes its style. It is big and rich and coats the mouth like raspberry jam.

The 2014 is excellent, not the greatest vintage of all, but slightly above average. It hits the centre of the dartboard. It leaves your teeth stained and your lips tacky like drying paint.

Each time I show a 389 to friends they immediately comment. You could almost bank on at least one “ohhh, that’s really nice...” And each time you could almost bank on me thinking to myself, like I did today, “I know I have tonne of this already, but really, why do I buy any anything else?”

Buying wine, and life at large, is really only about happiness. This label makes me happy and you can never have too much.
