Powerful and textured

saline and with the grip of wet stones on the palate

This has a resplendent cherry and raspberry nose

Sweetness at the start and then a hot chewy end

Penfolds, Bin 90A Cabernet Shiraz other_regions_italy Powerful and texturedA new wine for me, the 1990 Cabernet Shiraz Bin 90A is another impressive wine, although I did not think it justified the lofty $100+ price tag. While I preferred the Bin 707, the Bin 90A is an outstanding wine with a deep, saturated ruby purple color, and a smoky, roasted herb, blackcurrant, jammy scented nose. Thick, rich, and full bodied, with elevated tannin, this spicy, boldly styled wine will drink well for 15 20 years.
