2004 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Critic tasting note: (2004 vintage) “Starts off with herbal aromatics that come surprisingly close to vegetal, but seems to gather itself with some time in the glass, adding rich chocolate and cassis aromas and flavors to the mix. Dusty tannins and a balanced but tight feel suggest a few years in the cellar. Drink 20102020.” –88/100,Wine Enthusiast

Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality cabernet sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook cabernet sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.

This wine was matured for 12 months in a combination of new (15%), one, two year old and older French and American oak.
