1993 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon

Notes sourced from Southcorp Wines.

Penfolds Bin 707 continues to reinforce its reputation as the international benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvginon. Made from a multi-district blend, it transcends the vagaries of vintage, achieving a consistent style and outstanding quality each year. The Bin 707 style has intense varietal definition combined with new American oak to produce wines of great richness, power, harmony and concentration. The wine was matured in new American oak hogsheads for 16 months. Reflecting the excellent vintage in Coonawarra, the 1993 Bin 707 was made predominantly from Coonawarra Cabernet blended with smaller parcels of Padthaway and Adelaide Hills fruit which add extra depth of flavour and complexity. The wine has a deep, vibrant brick-red colour. The bouquet is lively, fresh and complex revealing enticing, rich mulberry and cassis Cabernet aromas backed by traditional Penfolds oak complexity. Highly defined and tightly structured, this magnificent, full bodied wine shows fully ripe berry-cassis fruit flavours complexed by stylish oak handling with a backbone of firm, yet finely grained oak tannins adding to the great palate length.As one of the most intense and flavoursome Cabernets made in Australia, Bin 707 requires medium to long term cellaring to realise its full potential. This exceptional, multi-dimensional wine combines the highest quality Cabernet with the art of red wine making so traditional to Penfolds. 13.3% alcohol volume.
