The 2020 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz has consummate polish and sleek tannins, imbued as they are with graphite, black tea, licorice and resin. The fruit is pure and black and chewy... gorgeous wine. And it lives for decades. This has always been a collector's dream and continues so through this vintage. Highly recommended.

Very rich, ripe and intense, this has plenty of depth and is one of the strongest statements of Penfolds’ house style. Rich vanillin and sweetly spicy American oak on the nose, with chocolate, blueberry, violet, blackberry and iodine notes. The palate delivers quite approachable and supple texture, smoothly fleshy and inviting. Flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant and mulberry abound.

Such a solid, svelte release, as seamless and accessible as I’ve seen a new-release Bin 389 though with the tannin and overall stuffing to go long term. The palate is plush, the finish is drenched in both flavour and tannin, and yet everything here feels meticulous

Dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, subtle ocher edge brightening. This "Baby Grange" is still a bit buttoned up on the nose, delicately reminiscent of nougat and figs, cranberries are underlaid, pleasant precious wood spice, a hint of eucalyptus in the background. Juicy, ripe cherries, subtle freshness, integrated tannins, mineral aftertaste, lemony touch in the aftertaste.

Dense and succulent, with velvety tannins and a core of spiced plum and blackberry. The details and aromatics take this wine to the next level—reminiscent of dark chocolate and Black Forest cake, Kalamata olive, nutmeg and palo santo. Gains momentum on the long, expressive finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
