FRA - ADD, ET 707, A350, Business Class — 3 years ago
A multi region blend, fruit from Barossa, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully vineyards, some bin 707 fruit included. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits herb and spice. On the palate black cherry and currants with notes of cacao, espresso and herb pepper. Vivid acidity, ripe fine tannins, long finish ending with vanilla oak and spice, very nice! — 4 years ago

The Penfolds and the Beaulieu clone 6 were the BOM! — a year ago
Pours dark inky. Dusty bouquet. Initial dark fruit then explodes with black raspberries and dark fruit in the middle that fills your mouth. Then ends with a short jammy dryness. A bold merlot. — 4 years ago
From Magnum. Leeuwin Estate’s Cabernets are becoming as good as their famous Chardonnays. Herbaceous with cassis mineral and savoury tannins. Not as full bodied as the 707 which followed but this is more Text Book Left Bank Cabernet with a long life ahead. Excellent. — 6 years ago
You would never pick this as a 26 year old red wine from the colour. A rich Ruby red with no tawny rim. This has the Penfolds DNA of ripe plum, mocha, coffee bean and chocolate - a trace of liquorice. The palate is medium plus weight, balanced and harmonious maintaining that core strength. Those initially firm tannins have become supple. Drinking at its peak but could stay on this plateau for a couple more years. My last bottle of the 96 but I still have a few more bottles of the Bin 707 from 1996 which was a huge wine. — 2 years ago

Supple, quietly opulent blue and black fruit. Beautiful fine tannic structure. Gorgeous but way OTT price-point. — 6 months ago
