Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Magnum
Bin 707 is a perfect cabernet sauvignon representation of Penfolds ‘House Style’: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing (McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, and Padthaway).
Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011 or 2017 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available).
Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

Additional details
Region:
Cellaring:
Drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking 2025 to 2050
Nose:
The unravelling begins - immediately laden with black olive and cigar-leaf cabernet appeasements. Then allowing the florals to soar - violet, lavender and baby’s breath. Accompanied by bursts of sea spray (41% McLaren Vale?) and formic (hint of barrel ferment?), iodine/haemoglobin. Beneath the elution throughout - roasted meats in tandem with cinnamon bar/Dijon mustard seed.
Palate:
Certainly the sum of its parts…McLaren Vale: front palate plushness, and sea spray. Coonawarra: terra rossa red-dustiness, earth. Barossa Valley: a solid core, and a drive that stridently lunges to the back-palate. A mid-palate richness with layers of discrete regional cabernet tannins …In every sense, ‘well-connected’.
Varietal Composition:
Cabernet Sauvignon
