Product Name: Penfolds 'Bin 389' Cabernet Shiraz 2018 - 750mL
Description:
Penfolds 'Bin 389' Cabernet Shiraz, affectionately known as "Baby Grange," blends the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz. Esteemed for its heritage and consistent quality, the 2018 vintage is no exception. This robust red wine showcases a harmonious balance of fruit and oak, having been matured in the same barrels that seasoned the previous vintage of Grange.
Tasting Notes:
The 2018 Bin 389 exhibits a complex bouquet of dark berries, plums, and hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is enriched with layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and nuances of cedar and tobacco, underpinned by fine-grained tannins. A full-bodied blend with an elegant and prolonged finish, it reflects the exemplary craftsmanship of Penfolds.
