Penfold's South Australia Bin 389 Cabernet/Shiraz 1989.
I was drinking a few bottles of this several years ago, but saved one to see what happened. It has aged very well. It contains a bit over 50% Cabernet, but the Shiraz is by no means hidden. Early on this wine was nearly aggressive, and perhaps would have been best suited for Australian game. But in the US we can only find a kangaroo or platypus at the Zoo. In a few years the wine had calmed down a bit and was driinking well. According to the back label, the grapes came from several vineyards scattered around South Australia, but the blenders did a good job. The wine is still fairly deep in color. It has now smoothed well, but still has plenty of fruit and acid. You can easily notice the pepper and dark fruit kick from the Shiraz in the blend - in fact the wine resembles Shiraz more than Cabernet. It was very good with a grilled steak.
