Penfolds Limited Edition 60th Anniversary Cabernet Shiraz Magnum 1.5L

To honour 60 years since its inception, Penfolds winemakers selected exemplar Bin 389 parcels to create this Limited Release. Encapsulating Penfolds time-honoured blending philosophy, this wine offers an alternative expression of a 2018 cabernet shiraz.

Sixty years ago, Bin 389 immediately validated the merits of the blending synergy of Australian cabernet sauvignon & shiraz. This wine reaffirms this wonderful union.

“This Limited Release is destined to age long and gracefully, as expected of a Bin 389 derivative; it certainly won’t disappoint. Dare we say … “Claret-like”. Noted: twice the amount of new oak as a ‘regular’ Bin 389. Easily handled, thanks to the quality of the fruit & oak used for this very special homage blend.” – PETER GAGO, Penfolds Chief Winemaker

Nose:

Immediately fresh and lively. Very South Australian – brazen formic plumes strut above, whilst polished boot leather aromatics lurk below. Scents of dehydrated strawberry & raspberry coulis propelled ahead of more familial cherry pip & sarsaparilla. Overt & extrovert (sandalwood) oak, coupled with a mix of roasted nuts (pecan/pistachio/hazelnut/walnut), conspire to monopolise attention.

Palate:

Red berries abound – cranberry & cherry pip ... and via this fruited conduit, enhanced natural acidity and flavour. The complete package – justifiably offering a respectful salute to the original Bin 389 blueprint.

Varietal Composition:

54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Shiraz
