First made in '60, and for long called First made in '60, and for long called ?poor man's Grange', a strange name for a $90 wine. It's always been a varietal and regional blend, once matured in hand-me-down Grange barrels, but no longer. There is much conjecture about the amount of Dom Perignon made each year, and the same is true of this wine. A bottle number could cause embarrassment. It's seriously good, its palate of black fruits, licorice, oak and earth held tight by tannins as only Penfolds can make.poor man's Grange', a strange name for a $90 wine.

Tasted January, 2022. Densely packed with colour and flavour, yet stylish and brilliantly choreographed. Plush, fleshy blue and black fruit, cassis, cocao and vanilla are foremost among the the flavours of this sleek beast. 389 is Australia's most cellared wine. We've had the pleasure of cellaring this top vintage for a few years. It's time for you to take over. It's magnificent now but will repay you handsomely in years to come.
