[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Bin 407 2010

Tyson Stelzer 96 points!
"In classic 2010 style, Bin 407 is approachable from the outset, yet with a tremendous future before it. With magnificent colour, intensity and purity, this is a wine of inky power of deep-set blackcurrant, black plum and cassis fruit of seamless line and incredible persistence. Yet for all of its concentration, it retains a lightness on its feet, with a tangy acid profile and a lifted violet perfume that give a sense of space to its intensity, drawing out cabernet's more refined hallmarks of capsicum, tobacco and crunchy redcurrants. Tannins are firm, fine and well-gauged to the stature of the wine, promising that this stunning 407 will be exceedingly long-lived. For the record, Coonawarra takes the lead, with support from Wrattonbully, Robe, McLaren Vale and Padthaway."

"The 2010 Penfolds reds have just been released with much fanfare about the vintage's quality. Most are superb. Some bin numbers are more famous than others and, relatively speaking, the Bin 407 South Australian cabernet blend is a lesser light, but the 2010 407 is outstanding. Deep and dark, it opens with elegant floral notes surrounding concentrated blackcurrant and plum fruit. Oak is more subtle than in some of the other 2010 bins, and the palate continues the intense, deep, black-fruit theme in ripeness and tannin balance, finishing long and fine."

"A fair amount of lift then into thick blackcurrant essence, blackberry nip, raspberry, cedar, black olives, Perkins Paste and vanilla oak " gum leaf and mint ride high. Full bodied with a thickly fruited and oaked palate, pumped full of tannin, slick and vanillin, but also with some tobacco and savoury stuff packed in for early complexity.. the makings are there to deliver sophistication given appropriate bottle age/patience.
