Dubbed the 'Poor man's Grange' or 'Baby Grange' (in part because the components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange), the Bin 389 is made up of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Shiraz.
This wine is dark and vibrant purple.
On the nose dark berries and plum, a hint of middle-east spices and cedary oak.
The oak is seamlessly integrated and the wealth of fruit is shy at putting its best step forward.
Patience is required here.
Very important: this wine shows its real face at 15-18 degrees Celsius!
Brooding, tight, grainy, dusty, black currant, plum and tobacco aromas with some pepper at the back.
The tannin structure is significant, but appropriate to what the wine has in store.
Perfect choice for 'heavy' , red meat. Especially for deer.
Definitely worth its NZ$ 44 price.
