PENFOLDS Bin 707 continues to reinforce its reputation as the international benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Made from a multi-district blend, it transcends the vagaries of vintage,achieving a consistent style and outstanding quality each year.
The Bin 707 style has intense varietal definition combined with new American oak to produce wines of great richness, power, harmony and concentration. PENFOLDS Bin 707 draws fruit mainly from Coonawarra, Padthaway, the Barossa Valley and select parcels from PENFOLDS' Bordertown Vineyard.
COLOUR Impenetrable black with a concession of purple at the rim.
NOSE Saturated dark fruit flavours of blackberry/mulberry fuse with notes of dark chocolate,/Ribena and liquorice. The 'chocolate' spike unfolds with air, revealing cocoa bean (Mocha Kenya) and liqueur cherry components. The overt, aromatic contribution from the legendary, ancient Kalimna Block 42 vineyard offers soul, purity and character. The (100% new) oak contribution is of academic interest only - completely absorbed.
PALATE The palate displays an oscillation and juxtaposition between a solid, assertive and
muscular first impression, and later, an opulent, saturated and succulent demeanour. Blackberry
and loganberry fruit flavours glide across a supportive continuum of tannin and oak to reveal
a profound synergy of Blackforest cake and bread & butter pudding flavours. What's promised on the nose is revealed on the palate - perceptions delivered.
