Penfolds
Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
From Magnum. Dark and Dense Crimson. A powerful full bodied wine on nose and palate with Blackberry and Mocha Oak in the Penfolds style. Not particularly Cabernet in style but a big ripe oaky Wine which will outlive us all. The WOTN for many of the 40 people at the Dinner.

Dark black fruits, green pepper & mint. White pepper & olive notes with chewy tannins. Not my style of wine.

Herbal & minty nose with white pepper & olive notes. Chewy tannins. Not a flavor profile I care for.

Jun 18th, 2013Wine for the long haul. Tannins are somewhat resolved. Powerful, pungent, oaky (American), undeniably Cab Savvy. An aftertaste that just doesn't want to go away. I wouldn't spend my money on this, but I certainly can see the quality here.

Apr 16th, 2017Truly a remarkable wine, my first experience with Penfolds and certainly won't be my last. Classic scents of cherry, blackberry, even a little bit of cigar or dried meat. Intense and complex on the palate, but very enjoyable. Crisp red fruit flavors eventually give way to a deep, almost over-ripe, dried cherry finish. Amazing pair with red meat.
