Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Bin 707 is a Cabernet Sauvignon reflection of Grange: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest Cabernets.
Multi-regional blend, South Australia. From Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway.

Additional details
Catalog:
Cellaring:
Approachable, imminently drinkable – now or in a decade or two.
Nose:
Exotic. Aromatically more perfumed than normal – old-garden fresh dark red rose, lavender, and ylang-ylang.
It transitions upon sitting, to conform to a more recognisable Bin 707 varietal demeanour. But not quickly … work required in glass to awaken!
100% new oak; 0% recognition. 20 months? Absorbed, ingested.
Palate:
Uniform across palate. Balanced, expressive.
Many flavours register – the ‘pure’ (blueberry fruits), and the ‘derived’ (rum ‘n’ raisin chocolate / freshly-baked panettone / trifle without custard).
Tannins – focussed, fine-grained, not angular or blocky. Oak – collaborative and courteous!
Varietal Composition:
