Penfolds Bin 707 - South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon - 2019

Colour - Deep dark core, purple edge retained in February 2012. Nose - Instantly recognisable—unabashed and unmistakably 707—no pretence, no mistaking. Dark berry coulis, spiced dates and pecan-shortcrust aromas hover above. Suggestive notes of ironstone, ferrous assortments and soy simmer below. Irrationally, but a silhouette of nutty, chocolate/malty oak... Palate - Full-bodied, rich and even. Varietal fruits have a role, but not a major part of this flavoursome production. Texturally, more muscular, defined and assertive, than mouth-coating or viscous. Prominent tannins are firm, ripe and malleable. Creamy/nougat oak in no way shying away— contentedly at one with the blend.
