Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Bin 389 is often called "Baby Grange" because it is matured partly in American oak hogsheads that previously held Grange. Cabernet Sauvignon supplies structure and cassis, Shiraz the flesh and dark plum, with mocha, cedar, dark chocolate and the eucalypt lift that runs through the Penfolds house style, full-bodied on firm tannin. Sourced across South Australia rather than from one vineyard, it is a wine of blending skill, and it ages with unusual predictability over fifteen years or more.
