Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia

South Australia

The 2022 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged 12 months in French oak (25% new and American oak (11% new)—all hogsheads. Deep garnet-purple in color, it pops out of the glass with notes of eucalyptus, plum preserves, and kirsch, giving way to an undercurrent of dark chocolate and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut with bright, muscular fruit, framed by firm, rounded tannins and a refreshing line, finishing long and minty.

The 2021 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Barossa Valley, and Adelaide Hills and it was aged in a mix of American oak (12% new) and French oak (25% new). It has a deep garnet-purple color and soars out of the glass with flamboyant notes of black cherry compote, dried mint, blackberry preserves, and warm cassis, plus hints of tobacco leaf, graphite, and iron ore. The full-bodied palate shimmers with energy, delivering a racy backbone and fine-grained tannins, finishing on lingering red berry and minty notes.

Middels rød farge. Mørke bær, anis og pepper på duft og smak. Fyldig og rikt anslag med markerte tanniner og medium pluss syrlighet. Dekanter gjerne vinen. Server i store glass.

Tasted duing one of the opening weekend of the wine-focused 67 Pall Mall club in Singapore, we were due to tate the 2017 until a last minute generous replacement from the estate swapped it out for an older vintage. So happy they did, as this was one of the wines of the weekend - I can still taste its briliance all these months later, with its brambled blackcurrant puree, tobacco, liqourice, spiced chocolate and mandarin notes. 100% new American oak.
