Tasting Notes
Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2023 opens with a deep, brooding crimson hue and an immediately captivating nose of dark plum, blackcurrant, and ripe mulberry, underpinned by cedary oak and a whisper of dark chocolate. On the palate, this iconic 'Baby Grange' delivers its signature seamless marriage of Cabernet's structural backbone and Shiraz's plush, generous fruit. Waves of blackberry compote, cassis, and roasted plum are interwoven with mocha, vanilla bean, and a subtle graphite minerality. The tannins are firm yet beautifully polished — a hallmark of the Bin 389 style — giving the wine impressive architecture without austerity. The mid-palate is rich and generous, with a savouriness that speaks to the quality of the vintage fruit. The finish is long, persistent, and refined, with lingering notes of dark spice and toasted oak that reward patience.
