About this product
Limited availabilityDry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonAn outstanding 707! A glorious wine for drinking now and for further cellaring. Spades of complexity on the nose with black fruit and liquorice notes as well as gracious aged characters of leather, suede and tobacco. An exhilarating Cabernet.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

...The palate is as rich, ripe, succulent and concentrated as the bouquet suggests, redolent with cassis, and long, lingering tannins.

Deep crimson/purple. Intense blackcurrant/cedar/vanillin aromas with plenty of savoury/meaty barrel ferment oak characters. The palate is strong and powerful with dense plush blackcurrant cedar fruit, some tropical/coconut/meaty flavours, lovely looseknit, evenly proportioned, grainy tannins and excellent length. A perfectly balanced wine with all the hallmarks of a great long-term cellaring wine.
