The 2012 vintage of Penfolds 389


Although I have tasted Penfolds Bin 389 many times, I found that I have blogged about it once before. The last time was the 2000 vintage, and this time it was the 2012 vintage, tasted at the KCCWS AGM this year. Having a line up with Burgundies and some Italian wines, this number turned out to be the most blockbuster style of the lot and was tasted right at the end. It showed up well. This wine showed a purple ruby rim with a dark core, with a sweet acid berry nose. The palate was sweet with vanilla wood fruit and acid, well supported by an acid backbone.
