Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750ml (ABV 14%)

Bin 707 perfectly reflects the Penfolds ‘House Style’ through a cabernet sauvignon lens: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing.

Nose - The unravelling begins - immediately laden with black olive and cigar-leaf cabernet appeasements. Then allowing the florals to soar - violet, lavender and baby’s breath. Accompanied by bursts of sea spray (41% McLaren Vale?) and formic (hint of barrel ferment?), iodine/haemoglobin. Beneath the elution throughout - roasted meats in tandem with cinnamon bar/Dijon mustard seed.

Palate - McLaren Vale: front palate plushness, and sea spray. Coonawarra: terra rossa red-dustiness, earth. Barossa Valley: a solid core, and a drive that stridently lunges to the back-palate. A mid-palate richness with layers of discrete regional cabernet tannins …In every sense, ‘well-connected’.
