Description
Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished expression of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, meticulously crafted to showcase the varietal’s inherent characteristics and regional nuances. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, including the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, and Padthaway, Bin 407 exemplifies Penfolds’ commitment to quality and consistency.
In appearance, Bin 407 presents a deep ruby color with vibrant purple hues, indicating its youthfulness and vitality. On the nose, the wine offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, dark berries, and black cherry, accompanied by nuances of cassis, cedar, and subtle oak spices. These complex aromas are underscored by hints of mint, eucalyptus, and tobacco leaf, adding layers of depth and intrigue.
The palate of Bin 407 is rich and expressive, with generous flavors of blackberry compote, plum, and mulberry, supported by fine-grained tannins and well-integrated oak. There is a harmonious balance between fruit sweetness, structural acidity, and savory elements, resulting in a wine of exceptional complexity and elegance.
With its medium to full-bodied profile, Bin 407 offers a silky smooth texture and a long, persistent finish that leaves a lasting impression. While enjoyable in its youth, the wine has the potential to develop further complexity and character with cellaring, rewarding those who choose to age it over the medium to long term.
Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from grilled red meats and hearty stews to aged cheeses and roasted vegetables. Its combination of fruit purity, structural integrity, and aging potential makes it a timeless classic in the Penfolds portfolio, representing the essence of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon at its finest.
