Notes
This monumental 1998 version of Bin 707 was tasted as part of the Penfolds Rewards of Patience tastings in 2007. I don't have information of where each vintage is sourced from but I will fill that in later.This is a ‘wow' wine. Mint and blackcurrant, strong and straight. Oak here has been majorly consumed – though what wouldn't succumb to such a boom of gorgeous, dark fruit flavour? Big tannin, big minty fruit, quite phenomenal. Length and purity. A star. 2030.
