Earthy on the nose, deep ruby colour, mushroom, bitter chocolate, espresso, chalky tannins, eucalyptus and mint. Stately, almost Bordeaux-style Cabernet with its leafy character and graphite edge. Double decanted just before serving, this has life ahead of it as it hits the 30 year mark. 100% new American oak, John Duval chief winemaker.

Penfolds' most impressive Cabernet Sauvignon is the 1994 Bin 707. This murky plum-colored blockbuster backward exceptionally tannic Cabernet displays abundant quantities of blackberry and cassis fruit a heavy overlay of toasty vanillin from new oak casks and mouthsearing levels of tannin. Although the wine is closed it is firmly-structured and enormously-endowed in the mouth. Cellar this offering for 2-4 years and consume it over the following 15+.
