Had 2 of these so decided to open one for Christmas. Absolutley beautiful for age 16. Typical Penfolds style Cabernet with still fresh blue fruits and excellent oak. Decanted for 2 hours and served. Not much sediment. Will wait another couple of years for the other jug.

Beautiful Shiraz true to the Penfold’s style. Enjoyed over 2 nights and was spot on both nights. Showing a touch of oak and still very well put together. This may have a couple of years left but is absolutely gorgeous right now!

Now this is the real deal. Bought this in Copenhagen Denmark at a high end wine store and paid a fair price for it. Was absolutely flawless. We both really enjoyed this blend and it is a definitely must buy going forward.

Only 45 minute decant. Need 3 times as long. Still fantastic Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon at it’s absolute finest!

Opened on Saturday night. One hour decant seemed to be just right. One glass each on both nights. Immediately true Penfolds style. The color is dark and impenetrable. The nose is stunning. I could not stop smelling this wine. Beautiful blackberry and dark ripe fruits and the Penfolds oak. Just so enjoyable I am not sure what else to say. The finish is long and smooth. These wines, if cellared correctly, absolutely overdeliver in every way. Bought this on the auction and and worth every penny!!! Wow!

Bought a case of this and had to try one after a year. This juice is amazing. The nose is so enticing that I could not stop smelling this. Beautiful ripe fruits and oh so true to the Penfolds house style. We enjoyed this over 2 nights and it was a true treat. The finish just does not quit and really was the match to a perfectly cooked NY strip on the grill. Cannot wait to try subsequent bottles but will most likely wait another 5 years or so for the next! If you see this, buy it (if the price is right) and enjoy it!!!

Another fantastic offering from Penfolds. This is a little softer than the Bin 707 but still has all the stuffing. Super ripe fruits and the nicest French oak. I have one more bottle left and will wait another 5 years before taking on that endeavor.
