Tasting Notes
Created as a result of the availability of high quality Cabernet fruit, Bin 407 is inspired by its older brother, Bin 707. Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 offers deep and dark forest berry notes, and opens with elegant floral notes. Very subtle oak, with the palate continuing in its intensity. Finish is long and fine.

"In classic 2010 style, Bin 407 is approachable from the outset, yet with a tremendous future before it. With magnificent colour, intensity and purity, this is a wine of inky power of deep-set blackcurrant, black plum and cassis fruit of seamless line and incredible persistence. Yet for all of its concentration, it retains a lightness on its feet, with a tangy acid profile and a lifted violet perfume that give a sense of space to its intensity, drawing out cabernet’s more refined hallmarks of capsicum, tobacco and crunchy redcurrants. Tannins are firm, fine and well-gauged to the stature of the wine, promising that this stunning 407 will be exceedingly long-lived. For the record, Coonawarra takes the lead, with support from Wrattonbully, Robe, McLaren Vale and Padthaway."
