Description
Penfolds Bin 389, also known as "Baby Grange," is a renowned Australian wine that showcases the classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. It is produced by Penfolds, one of Australia's most prestigious and iconic wineries, known for its commitment to crafting exceptional wines. Bin 389 is often referred to as a "baby" or "poor man's" version of Penfolds' flagship wine, Grange, as it offers a similar blend of grape varieties but at a more accessible price point. The wine is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, with the exact percentages varying from vintage to vintage. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards across South Australia, including the renowned Barossa Valley and Coonawarra regions. In the glass, Penfolds Bin 389 typically displays a deep ruby or garnet color, hinting at its concentration and depth. On the nose, it offers a complex and enticing bouquet of blackcurrants, dark berries, plum, along with spice notes, cedar, and hints of vanilla from oak aging. When it comes to taste, this wine delivers a powerful and harmonious palate. It combines the elegance and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness and generosity of Shiraz. It presents flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, mocha, and a touch of pepper, with well-integrated tannins and a long, lingering finish. Penfolds Bin 389 is often recognized for its exceptional quality, aging potential, and its ability to represent the best qualities of Australian red wine. It pairs well with a range of dishes, including roasted meats, hearty stews, grilled steaks, or mature cheeses.Tasting Notes
COLOUR Deep red NOSE Much more than a first-wave impression of blackcurrant/cassis cabernet-driven aromatics... • A second of chive, mustard spice, beeswax, lemon/honey tea and thyme flowers. • A third of cherry-wood, sarsaparilla, aniseed. • A fourth of wet cold steel and a wet peppercorn tree. ... all four unlocked, unravelled and liberated via time and air. PALATE Full and rich. A custom-fitted generous mid-palate – mandated for this marque. Flavours of a platter of charcuterie meats, pastrami dominating. Also vying for taste and textural attention – pomegranate, cranberry, Madagascan vanilla pod, liquorice straps. This wine’s youthful profile tempered by softened and even tannins – from start to finish. And the judicious use of new oak.Product Details
