Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Penfolds

The Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 is a powerful, full-bodied, and deeply concentrated expression of premium South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. It reveals a lifted and aromatic nose of wild black raspberry, cassis, and dried lavender, accented by coconut flakes, sweet dill, graphite, and cedar. On the palate, it displays a remarkably supple and fluid texture compared to surrounding vintages, carrying rich flavours of black plums, dark chocolate, and savory spices. It is framed by a solid core of fine-grained, dusty tannins and balanced acidity that ensure an exceptionally long, persistent finish. Serve it at 16°C–18°C, and ensure it is decanted for at least one hour to allow its intense structural layers to open up. It pairs magnificently with robust dishes such as premium cuts of beef, grilled ribeye steaks, slow-roasted lamb shank, venison, or dishes featuring black truffle.
