A season that delivered concentrated, small berries and firm tannins has shaped a wine of balance, confidence and longevity.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Steph Dutton, Penfolds Director of Winemaking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich and generous with a weighty, layered mid-palate. Dark chocolate, cherry liqueur and blueberries sit alongside nuances of coconut and squid ink. Fresh, vibrant acidity drives length and balance, while silken, talc-like tannins are finely resolved, delivering polish, authority and exceptional persistence. A classic Bin 389 with decades of cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVintage Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage 2024 combined a restrained early season with a warm, dry finish across southern South Australia. Below-average winter rainfall reduced soil moisture ahead of budburst. Isolated heat events in November disrupted fruit set in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. December rainfall stabilised vine health before warm, dry conditions from January accelerated ripening. Small berries, firm tannin structure and savoury intensity — fruit ideally suited to the Bin 389 style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Shiraz from Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway.

Often referred to as 'Baby Grange', components are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange — a lineage that defines the wine's character and collectability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCritic Scores\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Andrew Caillard MW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lisa Cardelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ken Gargett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jeni Port\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97pts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Huon Hooke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePeak Drinking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow – 2051.
