Tasting notes from the producer:

Celebrate the Year of the Snake with the legendary Penfolds Bin 389 Magnum, beautifully presented in a Lunar New Year-inspired gift box—a perfect symbol of prosperity and tradition.

A Heritage of Excellence:

Affectionately known as "Baby Grange," Bin 389 has been a cornerstone of Penfolds since its creation in 1960 by the iconic Max Schubert. Combining the bold structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the luscious richness of Shiraz, it showcases Penfolds’ unmatched artistry in blending. Matured in barrels previously used for Grange, this vintage offers a refined balance of vibrant fruit and elegant oak.

Nose:

A classic aroma that nods to Penfolds’ storied legacy. Deep notes of mahogany and cigar box intertwine with sweet oak spice and a touch of dusty nostalgia. Bright summer berries add a fresh vibrancy, complemented by the subtle warmth of baking spices, tart red currants, cranberries, and the comforting aroma of freshly baked pastries.

Palate:

From the first sip, this wine delivers a luxurious texture with cocoa powder-like tannins that envelop the palate. Juicy plum, blackberry, and mulberry flavours are lifted by vibrant wild cherries and tart morello cherries. A touch of sourdough adds rustic charm, while barrel fermentation nuances bring depth and complexity, allowing the fruit to shine in all its purity.

Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs, this Bin 389 Magnum is more than a wine—it’s a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the Lunar New Year. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come; either way, it’s a timeless addition to your festive table or wine collection.
