Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
A return to the ultra-dense, blocky and old-fashioned expression of 707, this very dark, briary and brambly cabernet is deeply layered, very firm and assertive, lacking any pretence towards elegance and finesse. Its
deep and slightly minty aromas of blackberries, cassis and dark plums are backed by typically smoky, cedary, gamey, mocha/chocolate oak with a hint of eucalypt. ItÕs super-ripe and concentrated, with substantial density and power, but perhaps lacks a true core of genuinely vibrant fruit, of which there may be insufficient to last the usual distance. It will be interesting to watch this wine, whose major fruit component comes from Padthaway.
