2004 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L Magnum Original Wood Box

Notes by Peter Gago - PENFOLDS Chief Winemaker: COLOUR Deep and dark with a dense core. NOSE The nose shows fruit to the fore, although much more: cassis, raspberry coulis, an underlay of red liquorice, black olive, soy and artefacts of well hidden oak. Youthful, lively and alluring! PALATE Textured, lush and chewy, with an even coating of talc-like tannins, the palate has a 'compression' of flavour, without heaviness or overextraction...marmalade, orange and tangerine citrus notes align with those that decry Cabernet. The wine is poised and balanced, with highly stylised and crafted oak, and highly defined and structured, showcasing the 'finest cut' of ripe, low yielding Cabernet.
