Not referred to as the ‘Baby Grange’ for nothing, Bin 389 is the insider's tip when it comes to each year's release from Penfolds. This blend of Cabernet and Shiraz is complex and perfectly balanced in 2022 - boasting volumes of Cabernet character with concentrated and vibrant dark fruits abound. There's ripe cassis, mulberry, wild cherry and plum, with graphite, slate, cigar box and earthy elements on the nose. Mid-weight, concentrated with mouth-watering acidity and generous tannins and a moreish savoury note. Excellent.
Scented, sweet, gloriously integrated. Lively treacle. Juicy and a dry end. Rich and married. Very complex. Biscuity. Very gentle initially but with a firm, dry finish. Long. Fresher than I remember!
The 2022 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is a dense beast of a wine, and the many lovers of the style will will experience paroxysms of pleasure, in that this delivers the muscle, density and concentration of yore. It is powerfully tannic, abundantly fruitful and long through the finish. What more can be said of a wine like this other than that it is a firm style, made consistently year in and year out. Aniseed, nutmeg, cinnamon and malt populate the register of spices from the charry oak. This is a big, big wine. It is composed of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Shiraz, sourced from a blend of McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
The happy marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) with Shiraz (49%) rarely looks as cosy or integrated than in this stellar example. A generous mid-palate shows off fine long fruit flavours from the slow-ripening 2022 vintage, with ruddy Shiraz ripeness in step with the more tannic bite of Cabernet Sauvignon’s blackberry and mulberry adding a moreish savoury note. With 36% new American oak hogsheads used for 12 months’ maturation, there’s just enough oak-influenced spice to provide adequate seasoning to the deep, pure flavours.
