First vintaged in 1964, Bin 707 has only been produced in years when fruit of the required style and quality is available, making each release a genuine statement of intent. The 2023 vintage draws on Cabernet Sauvignon from McLaren Vale, Padthaway, and Barossa Valley, matured for 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. Full-bodied, intensely flavoured, and built for the long term, Bin 707 retains a secure place among Australia’s finest Cabernets. Peak drinking 2026–2050.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, dark magenta on the rim with a black core — brooding, concentrated, and commanding in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnmistakably Bin 707. Black olive tapenade and tobacco pouch provide varietal grounding, whilst Copha, dusty chocolate, and barrel-ferment pralines speak to the Penfolds winemaking signature. Dry-aged beef and pan juices add savoury depth, before soaked dark cherry, fruit cake, rhubarb, and Black Forest cake attest to the variety. Freshly ground cinnamon — sprinkled over Portuguese custard tart — adds a final flourish of exotic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot overtly fruit-dependent, though blackberry and mulberry are instantly detected. The palate leans savoury and earthy — pan juices, black olive, and exotic African and Moroccan spices of turmeric, bay leaf, and pimento weave throughout. Dark chocolate crackle and barrel-ferment praline add richness and nuttiness, whilst an expansive, woven texture conveys vinous deliciousness with positive tension. Seamless Cabernet tannins — at once granular and sleek — provide a structure that is both sophisticated and complex. Masterfully conjured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry-aged ribeye, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison, aged hard cheeses, and dark chocolate.
