O Produtor, tasting note published in March 11th 2021
Certainly the sum of its parts...
McLaren Vale ➝ velvety front palate, and marine "spray".
Coonawarra ➝ pink earth, red powder.
Barossa Valley ➝a solid essence, and a drive that rises stridently to the back palate, bolstered by a regional chocolate/charcoffee gift. The dried fruit/plum jam flavours (with nutmeg and cream) of this Bin 707 are hard to pin down regionally.
A rich mid-palate closes over layers of understated regional cabernet tannins ... which time will no doubt morph.
In every sense, 'well connected'.
Bin 707 is a perfect cabernet sauvignon representation of Penfolds ‘House Style’: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation
and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first
vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011 or
2017 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available). Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a
secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

Penfolds
Despite great success, Penfolds never rests on its laurels. In 2012 Penfolds released its most innovative project to date – 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon.
Two years later, Penfolds celebrated the 170th anniversary – having just picked up a perfect score of 100 for the 2008 Grange in two of the world’s most influential wine magazines. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends – ‘1844 to evermore!’.
