Penfolds Barossa Valley Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1964
The first vintage of 707, now at 60 years old, from 100% monopole block 42, making this an extremely special, historic wine. Displaying a tender sweetness to the fruit, edges of charred oak, leather, campfire smoke, tawny brambled fruits, soft spices, fully tertiary on the palate, concentrated despite its age, and despite its balanced alcohol levels. Open fermenters for the winemaking, aged in neutral American oak rather than the new oak of later years, Max Schubert chief winemaker. The drink by date here is necessarily approximate, as it has more than proved its abilty to age.
