Penfolds Bin 389 2019 - 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Shiraz Penfolds Bin 8 2020 - 83% Shiraz, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon Considering Grange is mostly Shiraz (generally 97% recently), then Bin 8 would be closer in varietal spec - but they only really get these names from the barrels they are matured in (previously Grange barrels). I agree with you guys that the complexity from the 389 is amazing and shines over time after some breathing in the glass. Great video and Merry Christmas Lads. 🎄
Bin 28 Kalimna is a bomb. Ages well and is a price point at 50 bucks is an epic drop. My pick over the 389
