As always, Penfolds releases another winner. Big, brooding and eminently drinkable ... try this big boy tonight or wait five years!

Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet / Shiraz 2004 South Australia $26
We Bought a Bunch Price $21.99
What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator 90 Points
Velvety, with refined tannins surrounding a plush core of currant, huckleberry and peppery spice flavors on the finish. Best from 2008 through 2016.—H.S.

What We Thought: This inky, deeply-colored blend has an almost sweet nose of black raspberry and black pepper and an intense, full-bodied palate filled with gobs of jammy, ultra-ripe blackberry and black raspberry flavors supported by supple but very evident tannins that promise years of continued improvement in the cellar.
