Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 Gift Box 750ml (ABV 14.5%)

Grape Variety - Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard Region - Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully,  
Barossa Valley

Maturation - 12 months in French (16% new, 36% seasoned) and American (5% new, 43% seasoned) oak hogsheads

Nose - Immediately expressive and layered, opening with wild raspberry and blackcurrant, followed by savoury notes of caponata, forest floor and bay leaf. Umami notes build through olive tapenade, anchovy, roast duck and wood‑fired sourdough, offset by cedar‑vanillin oak and sweet notes of vanilla slice, star anise, Chinese five spice and nutmeg. Sugar‑dusted spiced fruit buns add warmth, while black jellybeans and red liquorice provide richness and lift. A hint of green Italian herbs and undergrowth, invigorated by fresh rain, further strengthens the varietal credentials.

Palate - Creamy, generous and juicy, with a seamless flow across a broad mid‑palate. Mulberry and cherry plum fruits are carried by fresh acidity and framed by pithy, chalky tannins. Savoury undertones of barbecue jalapeño and toasted cumin add drive and persistence, finishing long, textured and confident. An approachable Bin 407 on release, yet with several decades of cellar potential.
