Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
The 1990 vintage in South Australia has been lauded as one of the best for many years. The impressive 1990 Penfolds Bin 707, blended from the finest Cabernet Sauvignon available, reinforces the accolades given to this vintage.
Reflecting the outstanding vintage in Coonawarra, the 1990 Bin 707 has a higher than normal proportion of Coonawarra Cabernet. In the Penfolds' tradition, fruit from Kalimna and McLaren Vale has been included to add extra depth of flavour and complexity.


Winemaker comments by. John Duval

The wine is dark cherry red in colour.

Intensely scented, the rich bouquet offers coffee- like Cabernet aromas with blackcurrant and mulberry overtones, lifted by vanillin American oak and barrel ferment characters which add a smoky complexity.

This magnificent full-bodied wine shows concentrated Cabernet fruit and complementary oak characters in perfect harmony. The palate has layers of intensely flavoured, 'sweet' blackcurrant-like varietal fruit, with hints of dark chocolate, superbly balance

Drink now to 2030.
Medium-deep crimson. Beautifully developed wine with blackcurrant,
black cherry and ground coffee aromas. Richly flavoured with ample blackcurrant, cherry and underlying chinotto/cola notes, fine supple-yet-firm dusty tannins and fresh integrated long mineral acidity. Generous and vigorous in structure. Classic Bin 707.

“A fine example of a mature Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon with its great complexity, length and balance.” (JH)
“Cassis, liquorice, spice and tobacco aromas. Weighty, velvety and round with generous fleshy dark fruits and smooth dense tannins.” (JR)
