Tasting Notes :
Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2019 :
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 to forge Penfolds solid reputation
with red wine drinkers combini the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz.
Bin 389 also exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.
Colour : Bright garnet.
Bouquet : Dark berry fruits consistent to both varietal persuasions, (cabernet and shiraz),
overtly courted by elements of ponzu, soy, sesame and dried shiitake mushroom.
Flavour : Flavours and textures akin to marbled Kobe beef and an earthy accompaniment
of black liquorice root and anise. Structurally bold with little protruding integrated,
fine and has comfortably already “settled into place”.
