2004 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon


2004 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon

An excellent varietal. This is cabernet and nothing else. Cassis, capsicum, cedar, tobacco – its all there. Medium to full bodied with firm tannins, it finishes with good length and a fair grip. Quite a bit of greenish elements within the wine at the moment but still pleasant, and should develop well. However it must be said that this wine needs a long decant to be enjoyed now.
