Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Penfolds Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Penfolds Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet with structure and depth of flavour, at a more affordable price point. A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by a sensitive use of French and American oak.

Varietal notes of dusty Cabernet leaf and cedary oak dominate, with Chinese five spice, liquorice all-sorts and crushed blackberry poking through. Restrained oak provides integrated tannins and acidity and with the outstanding 2004 vintage, this promises to yield some extra yards
