Community Tasting Notes 24

    November 3, 2023 - Brick red. Like an old soft Aussie Burgundy of yesteryear. Soft structure. Nothing like the normal Penfolds house style, indeed where is the oak? Probably astute winemaking in a difficult wet vintage.

    14%, cork.

    May 20, 2023 - I put a few bottles of this Australian red blend in my cellar years ago. It has matured wonderfully into an excellent full bodied wine with rich fruit and well integrated tannins. We enjoyed it with barbecued tenderloin steak, roasted red potatoes, and tossed green salad with vinaigrette dressing (following the classic French recipe of olive oil, light wine vinegar, minced garlic and shallots, combined with Dijon mustard from France).

    August 24, 2018 - They say bin 389 is "baby grange", so that would make bin 8 baby bin 389. I enjoyed it though... its been over a year since a tasting note has been posted, and I think the tannins and oak have had some time to integrate. Drink up! I would buy again
