Opaque ruby. Smoke-accented cherry, cassis, pipe tobacco and cedary oak on the nose, along with a hint of mocha in the background. Chewy and focused on the palate, showing impressive lift to its bitter cherry, dark berry, vanilla and spicecake flavors. Turns sweeter on the youthfully tannic finish, which hangs on with strong, mineral-tinged persistence. -- Josh Raynolds

Smooth and luscious, with polished plum, black cherry and espresso details that slowly give way to deeper flavors of mahogany, clove and black tea. Shows a juicy edge to the fruit, but also plenty of base notes from dense and polished tannins. Drink now through 2033. – MW

Bin 407 is an offcut of Penfolds’ signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 707, and as such it tends to share a similar multi-regional expression - in this case Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Barossa, Wrattonbully and Padthaway. It's cloaked in both French and American oak, where it spends 12 months, resulting in a youthfully primary, vibrant red in that distinctly ripe, opulent Aussie style. Sweet, blackcurranty Cabernet aromas are accompanied by just a hint of cooler climate leafiness, all the while showing plenty of cassis richness, nice firm tannins and a savoury quality on the finish. Try with a rack of rosemary and garlic lamb.

Slightly herbal and leafy on the nose, the deep, currant-scented 2016 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon blends fruit from five different regions of South Australia. It's medium to full-bodied, with soft, measured tannins and true Cabernet identity. Aged in French and American oak, there are some cedar and mocha notes apparent on the nose and finish, but the cassis fruit carries the day. - Joe Czerwinski

In typical Penfolds style, this is a multi-regional, multi-vineyard blend from across the warmest regions of South Australia. The sunshine shows in the form of ripe raspberries and currants along with dark chocolate and dried mint. The palate is silky-textured and oozes with ripe, almost jammy, fruit and savory, grainy tannins. This is approachable now with time decanter and alongside protein, but best after a few years in cellar and then for the next decade. Drink 2022–2032.
