Penfolds Bin 389 is often referred to as 'Baby Grange', in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped forge Penfolds reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of cabernet sauvignon with the richness of shiraz. It is named after its original binning compartment at Magill cellars.
The 2023 Bin 389 is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz from premium vineyards in McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Barossa Valley. The wine was matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads (33% new).
Critic Reviews
97 Points - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
“This wine has been made every vintage since 1960. Refined, generous and polished aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, cured meat, crushed stones and iodine. The palate is full-bodied with a rounded, textural palate and ultra-refined tannins that lead to a silky, savory, black-fruited finish. Excellent. Drink or hold.”
96 Points - Andrew Caillard MW, jamessuckling.com
“Deep crimson. Perfumed violet, praline, blackcurrant/ blackberry aromas with inky/ chinotto notes. Voluminous and sinuous with beautiful pure cassis, chinotto flavours, plentiful fine chalky al-dente tannins and well-balanced roasted chestnut/ marzipan/ vanilla notes. Builds up brambly firm at the finish. Lovely density, vinosity and flow. Drink: Now - 2045.”
