94 / 100"I’d heard reports that this 2004 vintage of Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was less encumbered with oak than usual but the bottle I drank was still heavy with seasoned, cedary, spicy vanillin, the established oak-driven style of the label clearly intact. That said, the wine shimmies with class, the musky, dusty, curranty flavour of it long and dry and its fine, fleshy, filligreed tannins reaching long through the mouth. It is a wine in a style, ture, but quite a superb example of it. Drink: 2015-2025+ 94 points."

Tasting Notes
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 multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964.
Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.
