Producer Notes
Penfolds Rewards of Patience, Sixth Edition (2008)
Colour: Deep red.
Nose: Sweet plummy, mocha, chocolate, earthy, violet aromas.
Palate: Very rich and complex palate with fresh mocha, dark chocolate and meaty flavours, plenty of fruit sweetness and dense, strong, chalky, firm tannins. A very powerful, intense wine. A classic year.

About the Wine
The Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz style evolved from Max Schubert’s 1950s experiments to create a highly individual blend marrying Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Shiraz’s richness and complementary oak maturation.
Bin 389 has become one of Penfolds’ most recognisable wines, renowned for its balance between fruit and oak, delivering both longevity and character. The 1990 release is regarded as one of the finest since the inaugural 1960 vintage.
