Reviews

It's a very good wine, but its inescapable cut of green herbaceous fruit, so typical of its vintage, detracts from an otherwise polished and refined Bin 707. It's packed with mulberries and blackcurrants, a suggestion of wild mint and some very well handled oak and the wine doesn't lack much of its customary power and astringency. For those of you actually intending to drink your 707, do cellar this for the rewards. Drink 2009+
Dark purple-red; a wine which continues that high-toned, lusciously aromatic fruit of the '96, with some cedary oak. There is plenty of weight and stuffing to the palate, where cassis and vanilla intermingle, rounded off with lingering tannins.
