The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon "Bin 707" is one of the Penfolds? flagship wines. It was aged for 15 months in 100% new American oak. Opaque purple/black, it exhibits a classic Cabernet nose of cedar, tobacco, spice box, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Medium-bodied (13.5% alcohol) but dense and concentrated, with tons of black fruit flavor, the wine is tightly knit, structured, beautifully balanced, and very promising. It needs a minimum of 10-12 years of cellaring and should provide pleasure through 2040. Penfolds, arguably Australia?s most famous winery, continues to perform at a high level under the leadership of Head Winemaker, Peter Gago.
