Penfolds Barossa Valley Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Generous, with charred sandalwood aromatics, just a little dominant over the black cherry and damson fruit at this point. Earth and clove spice follow up, taking away from the pure Cabernet signature that is typical of this bottling, making it an outlier in the vertical. Perhaps bottle variation, as this is a well regarded vintage. 100% new American oak.
