Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2002

1993 was a very light harvest because of excessive rainfall and mild growing conditions. This wine performed well, although it would not appear to have the nuances of the finest vintages of Grange. The wine, a blend of 86% Shiraz and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, has an opaque purple color, a sweet nose of black currants intermixed with cedar, and earthy, almost truffle-like notes intermixed with some camphor. The wine is full-bodied, dense, somewhat monolithic, but very concentrated, powerful, and long. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2018. Imported by Southcorp Wines North America, Monterey, CA; tel. (408) 655-4848.

Wine Spectator, November 1998

Dark, peppery and earthy overtones add substance to this chewy, remarkably complex red wine. It delivers a ripe core of plum and dried currant, then branches out, hinting at anise and mineral on the finish. Approachable now, but oh what a future this has. Best after 1999. 937 cases imported. –HS

About Winery

Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor, Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold, who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies over a century and a half ago.

In 1844 Dr Penfold and his wife Mary purchased the Mackgill estate, "comprising 500 acres of the choicest land." By all accounts it was Mary Penfold who was responsible for the management and early wine-making responsibilities of the fledgling wine estate.

By the early 1960s Max Schubert saw the creation of a dynasty of wines that may differ in character from year to year, but would all bear an unmistakable resemblance to each other. The backbone of Penfolds' emerging red wine portfolio - Bin 389, Bin 707, Bin 28 and Bin 128 - were all introduced during this time.

The remarkable reintroduction of Penfolds Bin 707 in 1976 illustrated Penfolds' commitment to a premium Cabernet Sauvignon and within just a few years would come to be recognized as one of Australia's leading wines.
