The 2005 Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, Australia has earned 95 points from James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion), 91 points from Jay S Miller (Wine Advocate) and 91 points from Josh Raynolds (Vinous).
Super luscious, voluptuous black fruits, with an underlay of red; rippling velvety tannins; almost too much sweet fruit, but likely it's just puppy fat waiting to be shed. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (95 pts)

95 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“Super luscious, voluptuous black fruits, with an underlay of red; rippling velvety tannins; almost too much sweet fruit, but likely it's just puppy fat waiting to be shed.”
91 Points - Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate
“The 2005 Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon (52%)-Shiraz (48%) is crimson-colored with aromas of smoke, tobacco, mineral, black currant, and blackberry. Elegantly styled, it offers racy black fruit flavors, hints of licorice and chocolate, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will profit from 3-4 years of cellaring and will drink well from 2011 to 2020.”
91 Points - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
“Saturated red color. Smoky kirsch, candied plum, cassis, cola and mint on the nose, with suave oak spices adding complexity. Plush, sharply focused dark fruit flavors offer very good clarity and are sweetened by mocha and vanilla. The mint note repeats on the finish and dusty tannins add structure but don't detract from the vibrant fruit. This is really persistent.”
88 Points - Wine Spectator
“Ripe in flavor, upright in style, with savory tobacco and black olive nuances edging into the dark berry and smoke flavors, narrowing a bit on the finish with firm tannins. Best from 2010 through 2015. 20,000 cases imported.”
