Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Magnum 2005
South Australia
2005
Penfolds
Deep and dark with a dense core. The nose shows fruit to the fore, cassis, raspberry coulis, an underlay of Red liquorice, black olive, soy and artefacts of well hidden oak. Youthful, lively and alluring! Lush and chewy, with an even coating of talc-like tannins, the palate has a compression of flavour, without heaviness or over-extraction...marmalade, orange and tangerine citrus notes align with those that decry Cabernet. The wine is poised and balanced, with highly stylised and crafted oak, and highly defined and structured, showcasing the 'finest cut' of ripe, low yielding Cabernet. This is a wine of depth and layers of flavour.
