Reviews

Medium deep colour. Intense blackcurrant dark chocolate box cedar aromas with roasted chestnut, dukkha notes. Well-concentrated blackcurrant elderberry dark chocolate cedar flavours, fine grainy touch granular textures, underlying roasted chestnut/ vanilla oak notes, finishes chocolaty firm and long. Lovely balanced and supple-textured wine with superb fruit definition and elemental structure. Will need some years to unfold and hum. References Bin 707 and 407 and sits somewhere between in shape and volume. Distinctly Penfolds in style with Napa Valley's hallmark tannin richness.
This new Bin 704 is meant as a “mirror image” of its Australian Bin 407 stablemate. This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley, matured for 16 months in all-French oak, 40% new, 60% 1-year-old. There’s authority here. It’s floral and generally seductive but it’s a powerhouse of flavour and tannin; it doesn’t just add to the record, it sets it straight. Roasted nuts, pure blackcurrant, blackberries dripping with juice, cocoa. It’s sheer, strong, substantial and soft at once. This is a wine that leaves no room for doubt. It’s gorgeous. It throws light, fragrant flowers into a gale force of ripe, fresh, succulent fruit. And then the surge of tannin rockets through; rugged; majestic; uncompromised. It’s big, sir. Cabernet is the coastline of wine. Bin 704 from 2018.
