Cabernet and Shiraz, bold and beautifully wrapped.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2023 continues the lineage of one of Australia’s most iconic red blends. First crafted in 1960 by Max Schubert, Bin 389 helped shape Penfolds' global reputation. Known affectionately as the ‘Baby Grange’, it combines the structural drive of Cabernet Sauvignon with the plush generosity of Shiraz. It’s also matured in seasoned barrels that previously housed Grange, lending texture, spice and pedigree to the final wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 release is as classic as ever. Layered and expressive, with cassis, dark plum, cedar and warm spice coursing through a firm yet glossy palate. The fruit is sourced from across Penfolds’ trusted sites, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway, ensuring a balance of regional power and refinement. Bold but impeccably composed, Bin 389 is one to cellar—or decant now for full effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Brooding and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eBlackcurrant, dark cherry, bay leaf and cedar with hints of mocha and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dense yet refined\u003cbr\u003eLayers of ripe black fruit, vanilla, and graphite ride a wave of velvety tannins and integrated oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and composed\u003cbr\u003eStructured, savoury and persistent with spice and dark chocolate trailing through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"23\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"26\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"179\"\u003e“Referred to as ‘Baby Grange’ … components of the wine are always matured in the same American oak hogsheads that held the previous vintage of Grange.”\u003c\/em\u003e – \u003cstrong data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"194\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"194\" data-end=\"197\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"197\" data-end=\"311\"\u003e“This is a truly great 389.
