Notes
"Deep purple-red; a wonderfully fragrant, powerful and intense aroma proclaiming Cabernet Sauvignon at the height of its youthful power leads on to a formidable palate, crammed with fruit and oak, but with tannins to lose (as the Californians are fond of saying). Needs years to begin to give of its best but will sweep all before it before it is finished in its show career. Top gold medal winner at the 1997 Sydney Wine Show."

"This 1994 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.
Tannin scorched. Lots of tobacco-like fragrance. Smells beautiful actually. Cassis, mouth-coating tannin, mint, tobacco and cloves. Huge grunt of flavour. A really good 707. Big and structured, oak-polished and statuesque. This needs to be assessed as a 20 year old."
