Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1989

Bin 707 perfectly reflects the Penfolds ‘House Style’ through a cabernet sauvignon lens: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multivineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003 or 2011. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

Lovely complex cedar, blackcurrant, meaty, demi-glace, dried herb aromas. The palate is deeply concentrated with plenty blackcurrant, meaty flavours, underlying mocha, malt oak and chocolaty, ripe tannins. It finishes fresh and sweet; long and flavourful. A great Bin 707. Perfect drinking now but will hold.

Pair with a nice beef steak, prosciuttos, black bean soup, blue cheese, lamb with rosemary.
