[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Bin 707 2005

Bin 707 goes rich and rustic. Saturated with luscious flavours of dark berries, plums and cassis, this super (but not over) ripe cabernet is handsomely oaked and impressively supported by firm, almost raw-edged and chalky tannin. A violet-like perfume lifts its aroma, while its spectrum of fruit encompasses nuances of prunes, currants and dark olives as well as undertones of dried herbs. It finishes long, polished and slightly meaty, with a lingering presence of plush, concentrated liqueur-like fruit, cocoa and mocha. (South Australia, 18.8/95, drink 2017-2025) Jeremy Oliver

The 2005 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 16 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. Already complex aromatically, scents of cedar, sage, clove, mineral, black currant, and blackberry waft from the glass. Smooth, layered, and bordering on opulent, this will be a long-lived Cabernet which should drink well for 25 years. Wine Advocate # 181 Feb 2009 Jay Miller Drink: 2009 - 2034

Tremendous wine. I love the long, lingering, tannic power of this - this is a super-thruster of a wine. It's long and serious, blue-black in colour, rich in saturated blackcurrant-like flavour and boosted by flavour of licorice, mocha and chocolate. This was matured in 100 percent new American oak hogsheads, but the fruit is more than a match for it. Stunning - and further evidence that Bin 707 has come of age. Drink: 2025-2040. 97 points Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront
