Intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multivineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003 or 2011. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

An immediate, intense lift of pure ripe blackcurrant fruit, laced with mint and the faintest suggestion of violet. Cigar box and fresh tobacco oak notes showcase the sheer fruit quality. Although youthful, the nose already shows true 707 character.

Powerful and complete. Saturated fruits have soaked up the new oak culminating in a rich, sweet mid-palate and long stylish finish. The depth of fruit and defined structure, coupled with obvious muscular tannins.

Reviews

An incredible hulk of a wine. Noticeably cabernet as much by its firm, wrenching structure as by anything else. Cedar, sweat, earth, custard, musk, and a glorious hunk of pristine blackcurrant fruit controlled yet massive, with long roping oak-washed length and fruit of ultimate definition.
Abundant red and black fruit aromas on the bouquet, the oak still integrating; blackcurrant and blackberry fruit are matched by mouth-coating tannins.
