Red	2018 Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 704 Napa Valley more	Options Post a Comment View smahk's profile Report Issue 3/6/2021 - smahk wrote: 92 points Color: Deep ruby Nose: Cherry, Anise, Raspberry Taste: Currant, black cherry, anise and green herbs This is quite young - really too early to open, but it was the release party so..... lots of black cherry and raspberry upfront with anise and green herbs to follow. A great big mouthfeel with a very long tannic finish. I would let and further bottles rest and relax in the cellar for a few years. Note: First sample was tasted after a 2 hour decant. Second sample was tasted after another 2 days. Clearly far better with time. I love Grange but did not open the quantum - that would clearly be insanity (and infanticidal) I will acquire more 704 and see how they evolve.
