Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

9.4

Dense crimson in colour - impenetrable. Strong aromas of mint. The excessive oak influence in Penfolds reds early in life has settled down after 15 years. All the individual components early on are now integrated settling in for a long life. Penfolds say to 2040. Ripe blackcurrant with plum, dark chocolate and liquorice notes. Bin 407 came about because of an embarrassment of Cabernet riches even after their flagship Bin 707. An excellent Cab - I now have 5 left for the coming decade or so. — 6 days ago

@Bob McDonald, two thoughts — (1) buying the best Penfolds reds is likely buying vintage Port for the cellar (and I’m too old for that!!), and (2) I do remember attending the Wine Spectator New York Wine Experience in 1985 or 1986 and Penfolds was pouring the 1982 Bin 707, I decided I had to have it, so had my favorite NYC wine retailer secure me a case. I believe those bottles are all gone, but it’s always possible a bottle or two will show up in the wrong case and I’ll get another shot. I admit that when I purchased those bottles, I had ZERO idea of their potential longevity, as I had no @Bob McDonald to advise me!!

@Paul T HB I see Penfolds Rewards of Patience gives the 1990 a drinking window through to 2060!! Hopefully it has been stored well. Back in the mid 1990s I bought a dozen and now have only one left. Personally I have always thought the 1991 is just as good if not better.

Rich, sweet oak, intense dark fruits, also shows some heat (14.5%), this is a serious Aussie Shiraz that screams for at least another decade of aging (as @Bob McDonald has said previously), drinking this tonight feels like robbing the cradle??!! — a month ago

@Doug Powers A great wine Doug and like all Penfolds wines - built for the cellar. Noted Australian wine scribe, Huon Hooke had a window of 2021 - 2039

Sourced from several regions, pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, spice, floral and citrus notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with notes of honeysuckle and citrus zest wrapped in savory toasty biscuit notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, yeasty and mineral character. Nice! — 3 days ago

This wine confounds me sometimes. Its real hard to peg this as an Australian wine. This is a true structure bomb like any other massive Boudreaux blend. Black fruit and cassis, with pencil lead and earth tones. Deep dark Hugh, and a long finish. i struggle with its costs, but I'm glad to have enjoyed a glass — 4 days ago

Dark ruby color. Called the “Baby Grange” for a reason. Wonderful nose with aromas of dark fruit and spice. Dry and bold with medium+ tannins. Flavors of black fruit, mocha, toasty notes, and oak. Balanced acid with a wonderful finish. Great wine for the price. — 2 months ago

The times I helt a bottle like this in my hands, I can probably count on only one hand. Even for Delectable this is a rare occasion because it didn’t know how to correctly recognize it. When a wine connects like this, lifts you off the ground and takes you to a beautiful place, you know it is good. Intense, but perfectly balanced, so many instruments playing that still echo for minutes in a lingering finish. 26 years old yet so vibrant and wild with dark punchy fruits encapsulated by aged mahogany wood that released different flavors every time I took a sip… yeah… life is good. Offered by a friend who loves wine and even more loves to share! — 13 days ago
