Classic Penfolds Cabernet with blackcurrant, dark chocolate, cedar and a long, finely structured finish.
About The Wine
Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a polished, full bodied South Australian Cabernet that brings varietal definition, richness and structure into sharp focus. Inspired by the house’s flagship Cabernet style, Bin 407 is known for combining ripe fruit depth with approachability, and the 2017 vintage delivers that beautifully. Layers of black fruit, dark chocolate, cedar and spice sit over a firm, balanced frame, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the structure to continue evolving in bottle.
Halliday Wine Companion - 96 Points
From Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully, matured in French (18% new) and American (14% new) hogsheads. Great colour; blackcurrant, licorice, dark chocolate and spices run through the bouquet and palate alike, splitting and reforming in a dance of cassis and spices of all kinds. There is life and energy to spare here. Another major success. James Halliday
