Welcome the Year of the Snake with Bin 707, a testament to timeless elegance. Presented in a Lunar New Year gift box, this iconic wine celebrates the promise of a prosperous year.
Color: Deep, foreboding, dark purple-red.
Aroma: Poured, swirled — persuasive Cabernet black olive, graphite and tapenade aromatics may initially relax Bin 707 style sceptics. Yet just when the guard is dropped, in creeps a scented wave of choc mint, Asian spices and sage/bay leaf botanicals. Taking no prisoners a good measure of soot/ironstone/sump oil blackness, and a floral headiness of iris and dried hibiscus. Yes, a full on, uncamouflaged Bin 707 aromatic assault. Not for the meek. Unashamedly 100% Cabernet, 100% new oak, 100% Penfolds.
Taste: All is convincingly redeemed on the palate. No stylistic retreat, yet engagingly a better understanding of what lies beneat. Texturally, a suppleness and tightness that is indeed profound. Fine long ripe tannins offer polish and a felt like ‘attaque’. Perhaps trademark a significant mid-palate and convincing length synergising an amalgam of Cabernets (only) off the varied soils of Coonawarra/Barossa Valley/Padthaway/McLaren Vale. A base of ferrics and black pudding/blood sausage laced with white chocolate and red and black berry fruits. 100% new oak thought about only when reminded. All Bin 707 boxes ticked, except one time.
