Penfolds Barossa Valley Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Inky plum colour, chocolate, deep blackberry, very much brambled fruit, edges of black chocolate, savoury and vibrant, a ton of clove and grilled rosemary spice, with campfire, turmeric. Tight and muscular, the tannins need to resolve, and this is less pristine than some, but has balance and you can feel confident that there is a storming wine here that will suit long ageing. 69% Coonawarra fruit. 100% new American oak, John Duval chief winemaker.
