Penfolds Bin 389 Cab Shiraz Troye sivan Gift Boxes 2023

95 points Wine Advocate

The 2023 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is inky, complete, powerful and structured, with black berries, sweet licorice, star anise and fennel. There are also notes of roasted meat juices and cedar wood. The expression of this wine is very attractive—the prism of the cooler season works well in this wine. The fruit is sourced from McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Barossa Valley, matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads, 33% new.

93 points Wine Spectator

Distinctive for its appealing savory thread, with notes of crushed pine needle, forest floor, sage, olive tapenade, rosemary and tobacco leaf that complement the core of spiced plum, dried cherry and blackberry preserves. Offers a firm, muscular structure for an appealing backbone. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

96 points James Suckling

This wine has been made every vintage since 1960. Refined, generous and polished aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, cured meat, crushed stones and iodine. The palate is full-bodied with a rounded, textural palate and ultra-refined tannins that lead to a silky, savory, black-fruited finish. 51% cabernet sauvignon and 49% shiraz. Excellent.
