Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cabernet sauvignon from Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and Padthaway. 16 months in 100% new American oak. Nails it. Commanding as all hell, powerfully fruited, long. Blackcurrant and cedar, suggestions of vanilla, flings of tobacco – and all that. The tannin framework of this wine is monumentally good; it curls on forever. Flavour sweeps in and just keeps on coming although, it must be said, not at the expense of freshness. How long do you have? This wine has the future covered. Drink : 2027-2045+. Score – 97.
