Penfolds Bin 389

I drank this wine at a family celebration the other day. I have had a few bottles of this wine before, but could not remember if I've had the 2000 vintage. Bin 389 is a classic from amongst the vast Penfold range, a good example of that peculiarly Australian blend Cabernet Shiraz. Created by Max Schubert, the man who created Grange, Bin 389 shares a little bit more that just its creator with its more famous brother (though it has quite often been referred to as Baby Grange) - some of the components which make up the blend are matured using the barrels which were used by Grange in the previous year. As for this wine, it was a deep ruby with a sweet acid berry nose. Sweet fruit accompanied acid on the palate, which was supported by a nice acid backbone going onto a pruney acid finish.
