94 / 100""Medium to full red-purple; lusciously ripe and full dark berry fruit is woven through with vanillin oak on the bouquet. The palate is high-toned, long and lingering with intense flavours of spice and cassis intermingling with more of that very well-handled oak." (10/1996)"

""The three luxury-priced offerings from Penfolds include a spectacular 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707. This opaque purple-colored wine exhibits a huge, jammy, blackcurrant, vanilla, licorice, and earthy-scented nose, as well as massive concentration of fruit, glycerin, and body. Readers will find plenty of sweet tannin in the awesomely-endowed finish. (RP)" (04/1997)"

Tasting Notes
A wonderfully fragrant, powerful and intense aroma proclaiming Cabernet Sauvignon at the height of its youthful power leads on to a formidable palate
- James Halliday
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.
