Deep red colour with a purple tinge. The bouquet is very berry-accented with loads of cassis, blueberry, violets and flowers in the background. The palate is likewise flooded with berry fruit and cabernet character, with purity and freshness, and less oak, as well as less of the typical Penfolds barrel-matured personality traits. At the same time, there is a wealth of tannin supplying backbone and contributing to length. Powerful and impressive, if a little less complex but then it's just a baby. Bin 407 continues to get more and more serious.

A multi-regional blend first made in '90, the Limestone Coast regions having an important role, the oak likewise a mix of new and used French and American. It's first and foremost Penfolds, second cabernet sauvignon, and there's no point in moaning about the price, which is made to seem frugal by that of Bin 707. In the scheme of things, it will travel easily thanks to the balance of fruit, oak and tannins.
