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.

Tightly-coiled at only three years of age, however after time in the glass this begins to unfurl, revealing an impressive dark core of fruit, ironstone, soy and cedary oak. The palate is full-bodied, rich and long. Tannins are fine yet firm, a long fortunate life assured.
