2005 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from McLaren Vale and Padthaway this wine was matured for 12 months in 20% new French and American hogsheads, with the balance in older oak. Very deep crimson colour with crimson brick red hue. There is a hint of cedar and toasted oak as top notes followed by spice and blackcurrant. The palate structure is tight, with flavours of plum, dark chocolate and stewed fruit evident with some liquorice in the background. Fine dry tannins, persistent, some liquorice as an aftertaste.
