Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
“AVAILABLE IN JULY 2025”
REGION:
South Australia.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Cabernet Sauvignon.
TASTING NOTES:
Deep red with a dense core.
An immediate, intense lift of pure ripe blackcurrant fruit, laced with mint and the faintest suggestion of violet. Cigar box and fresh tobacco oak notes showcase the sheer fruit quality. Although youthful, the nose already shows true 707 character.
Powerful and complete. Saturated fruits have soaked up the new oak culminating in a rich, sweet mid-palate and long stylish finish. The depth of fruit and defined structure, coupled with obvious muscular tannins, suggest that this wine is built for the long haul.
A bottle of 2001 Penfolds Bin 707, Penfold’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, rated ‘exceptional’ in the Langton’s classification of Australian wines.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS:
Good winter rains gave South Australian regions a solid start to the growing season. Fruit set was excellent and careful vineyard management to reduce crop loads ensured the vines were in good shape to continue ripening throughout the season. Summer rains brought relief and the ensuing fine conditions towards vintage resulted in fruit reaching full ripeness and was picked in optimal condition.
