PenfoldsBin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Sauvignon
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonRenowned as quite a warm vintage, the 2001 707 is a wine of power and varietal definition. Winefront.com talks of cedar, musk...and a glorious hunk of pristine blackcurrant fruit...+, while Robert Parker Jr. questions the winemaking team's +...bizarre fascination with low pH and acid levels...+. We think it still represents an wonderful expression of top-notch Aussie 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.

An incredible hulk of a wine. Noticeably cabernet – as much by its firm, wrenching structure as by anything else. Cedar, sweat, earth, custard, musk, and a glorious hunk of pristine blackcurrant fruit – it’s controlled yet massive, with long roping oak-washed length and fruit of ultimate definition.

Abundant red and black fruit aromas on the bouquet, the oak still integrating; blackcurrant and blackberry fruit are matched by mouth-coating tannins.
