Launched in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, Penfolds Bin 407 was developed by Penfolds Chief Winemaker, John Duval, in response to the increasing availability of high-quality cabernet sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Penfolds Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and attention to detail, at a more affordable price point.
Â
Dark red, with an ink-black core. The nose shows varietal, leafy and peppermint aromas with trademark blackcurrant, cassis and mulberry fruits. Nutmeg and cedar nuances are suggestive of recent barrel storage, yet overt oak is not discernable. Stylish and complete. The palate is lively, zesty and of great length, facilitated by mouthwatering acidity and chunky tannins. Flavours of freshly picked blackberries with perfectly integrated oak and a hint of char span the palate. A continuum of flavour and power across the palate - proudly 100% cabernet. This wine will repay medium to long term cellaring and is at least the equal to any Bin 407 back to the 1996 vintage.Â
