Deep, dense red colour, purple rimmed. Powerful, pungent, mocha and eucalyptus aromas. The palate is massive and fat, broad and grainy textured, truck-loads of oak well integrated, but a completely different structure and consistency to Bin 169, which I prefer. Remarkably chunky for a cabernet. Drying tannins dominate the aftertaste.

Benchmark 707, exact in every way, from the first waft of pristine violet fragrance to a finish that lingers into tomorrow. Such is the sheer determination of pure blackcurrant brilliance that flashes of eucalypt, mint and even 100% new American oak pale into the background. Sensational definition and intensity powers through a finish of epic stamina. Structure is earth-shaking; classic 707 of firm, fine, mouth-evading presence. The fifth consecutive vintage of 707 that has not dipped below 96 points in my score sheet must confirm this to rank alongside Grange as Australia''s most consistent fine wine benchmark. After a one-third price hike, it''s still but one-tenth the price of First Growth Bordeaux.
