PenfoldsBin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Sauvignon
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonTruly a giant in the world of Australian Cabernet, and the 2004 walks taller than most. Still very much a youthful wine, it is unwilling to give away very much. In the words of Peter Gago, the nose displays ...red liquorice, raspberry coulis, black olive, cassis and oak... while the palate is pure and poised, with some assertive tannin and formidable length.

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.

Much more generous and appealing than Bin 407 at first acquaintance; luscious blackcurrant fruit, and seamless oak and tannins; great mouthfeel.

Bright purple colour, very deep. Concentrated cassis aromas; clean and berryish, more fruit-driven than usual. Oak takes a back seat. Chocolate palate; mocha; dense and mouth-coating, very thick and reduced (like simmered stock) but retains some balance, elegance and fruit-drive. Essence of winegrapes! Best in 3 to 22 years.
