Penfolds, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon - Australie 2023
Penfolds, 180 years of innovative winemaking
Since 1844, Penfolds has been grounded in experimentation, curiosity and uncompromising quality. It is a pioneering spirit which still rings true after nearly two centuries, that has helped Penfolds become one of the most celebrated winemakers in the world today. Over its 180-year history, only four winemakers have helmed Penfolds, each serving as a steward of a distinctive philosophy and style—what we might refer to as the 'House style'.There is a strand of shared DNA throughout Penfolds family of wines, yet each clearly expresses its unique persona.
BIN 707, the quintessential expression of Cabernet Sauvignon by Penfolds
BIN 707 is to Cabernet Sauvignon what Grange is to Shiraz: a flawless representation of the grape varity according to Penfolds' distinctive signature. It originates from a meticulous grape selection process, sourced from Coonawara, the Barossa Valley, and Wrattonbully for the 2021 vintage. Named after the iconic Boeing 707 aircraft, it was first produced in 1964 and is crafted only when grape quality reaches its peak (over the past 10 years, two vintages are missing: 2017 and 2020). Consistently ranked among Australia's finest Cabernet Sauvignons, BIN 707 has garnered prestigious acclaim and exhibits aging potential akin to that of Grange.
The 2023 Vintage
Tasting notes:
The Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep, dark color. The nose is powerful and complex, showing notes of tapenade, tobacco, chocolate, dried fruits, aged meat, spices, and pastry. On the palate, it is structured and savory, with flavors of blackberry, black olive, dark chocolate, and exotic spices. The tannins are fine and elegant. This wine reflects Penfolds’ signature style — rich, refined, and a noble expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
