The Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 16 months in new American oak hogsheads. A glass-coating opaque purple, it displays aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, mulberry, spice box, and black currant. Medium to full-bodied and seriously structured, it has the fruit to complement its frame. On the palate, espresso and chocolate make an appearance along with layers of savory black fruits. Dense and exceptionally lengthy it will continue to unwind for another 6-8 years and drink well from 2015 to 2031. Importer: Southcorp Wines USA; www.penfolds.com.au
Coonawarra, Barossa and Adelaide Hills! A Cabernet Sauvignon to trounce terroiristes. 100% new US oak. They didn't release the wine in 2000 and 2003 because they felt the fruit couldn't take 100% new oak. You love or loathe this wine,' says Gago. 'Lots of people dislike the blending and the US oak, though the barrels are made in Australia.' Very dark purple. Leather and savour and 'a very alternative form of Cabernet'. A little awkward and lean in the middle at the moment. Very muscular – but much more intense than most Coonawarra Cabernets. Opened out in the glass – less angular. (JR)
