95 points “With its seamless textural slide across the palate this is a superb example of what is considered a distinctly Australian blend showing both generosity and serious intent.” – Decanter Magazine
For those in search of a red for the cellar – one with real longevity – then Bin 389 is one of Australia’s finest.
Bin 389 is lovingly referred to as “Baby Grange” because components of it are aged in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Australia’s most iconic wine. While the rest of the world is hung up on creating wines specific to certain regions Penfolds makes multi-regional blends taking the best nuances and characteristics from various areas and combining them to complex and dramatic effect. This Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend takes grapes from McLaren Vale Barossa Valley Padthaway Coonawarra and Wrattonbully to create a phenomenal red that has a decade or more to give. If you open it now expect red plum crème de cassis herbal tea dried herbs plum crumble black peppercorns mocha cranberry blood orange liquorice vanilla cedar chocolate and cured Spanish ham. But if you choose to wait you will be rewarded with so much more.
Penfolds is certainly Australia’s and possibly one of the world’s most iconic wine producers. Established in 1844 it boasts an enviable history that most wineries in the Old World would give their right arm for. Most famous for its flagship wine Penfolds Grange which is the very definition of Australian fine wine and the 1955 vintage was even described by Wine Spectator as one of the “Wines of the Century”. Penfolds owe much of their success to Max Schubert their winemaker who travelled to Europe after World War II and came back with all kinds of secrets. His innovative often multi-regional blends have become part of the DNA of Penfolds and now the wines are the choice of connoisseurs and collectors all over the world.
