Overview
The 2023 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished and expressive modern classic, drawing inspiration from the great Cabernet styles of Bordeaux while remaining distinctly Australian. Renowned for its consistency and refinement, Bin 407 delivers depth, balance, and varietal purity, making it a cornerstone of the Penfolds portfolio.
Vineyard and Winemaking
Fruit is sourced from a selection of premium South Australian regions, providing both structure and aromatic complexity. The wine is matured in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads, a portion of which are seasoned, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon’s natural character to shine while building subtle layers of spice, texture, and longevity.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in colour, the bouquet reveals classic aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and dark cherry, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite. The palate is finely structured and concentrated, offering ripe black fruit, savoury oak, and firm yet polished tannins. A long, focused finish highlights freshness, balance, and precision.
Style and Character
Elegant, confident, and age-worthy, the 2023 Bin 407 showcases the harmony of fruit intensity and structural finesse. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon that combines immediate appeal with the depth to reward extended cellaring.
Cellaring and Pairing
Enjoy now with decanting or cellar confidently for 15–20 years. Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, slow-braised beef, or aged hard cheeses that complement its structure and depth.
