Penfolds
Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
South Australia, Australia
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Beautiful nose of blueberries, blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, spices, licorice, cedar, earth, chocolates, vanilla, rhubarb and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, toast, cedar, light vanilla, mediterranean spices, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia. Rich and elegant. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 60 minutes of airtime.
Robert Parker 91 points. Wine Spectator 91 points.
This 23 year old is drinking beautifully now and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food like lamb dishes.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new American oak barrels for 14 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$225.

The penultimate bottle from the cellar was back on June 30th, 2019; scored a 92. This final bottle was a tad lackluster and suggests that my dear brother’s cautionary note was justified...”past its prime, Tim.”

Typical cab s nose with that savory almond paste tones. Only the thin edge in the glass showed its age. Beautiful wine. Real treat. Thanks E!
