93 points, "The 2021 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is creamy and densely packed with flavour (packed!), and the American oak is a core part of the wine, both aromatically and in the mouth." - Wine Advocate
95 points, "A beauty of a beast whose imposing tannin structure and abundantly ripe fruit need time. Powerful, inky blue and black berry fruits dominate the nose and palate, alongside bergamot freshness, earthy tapenade, exotic spices, iron filings and lots of black pepper. Coconut richness from 12 months in US oak hogsheads (37% new) and fine cocoa powder tannins add grip and linger long. Drink 2025 - 2055" - Decanter
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 and Padthaway, to create a phenomenal red that has a decade or more to give. If you open it now, expect crème de cassis, blackberry, blueberry, black tea, dried herbs, plum crumble, black peppercorns, mocha, cranberry, blood orange, liquorice, vanilla, cedar, chocolate, iodine and graphite. But if you choose to wait, you will be rewarded with so much more.
Part of the Penfolds Venture Beyond collection, this limited-edition gift box is decorated with imagery that depicts the fantastical journey into the deep sea. Designed to resemble a scuba mask, this visually stunning case features an intricate underwater landscape complete with corkscrew fish, wine glass coral and grapes nestled between the sea kelp. So, dive deeper into the world of Penfolds with this exciting collector’s edition.
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.
