2005 Penfold's Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon

If a deep, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon calls to you, this 2005 Penfolds Bin 707 is your immediate answer. This is the wine for those who find profound satisfaction in age-worthy structure and layers of dark, concentrated fruit that continue to evolve. It’s an Australian icon that speaks of patient cellaring and the immense rewards of time.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Deep, concentrated scents of crème de cassis and blackcurrant mingle with notes of dark plum and warm mulberry. Nuances of cedar, vanilla, and dried mint unfold with aeration.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet graceful, with concentrated blackcurrant and dark berry flavours forming the core. Espresso, dark chocolate, and a streak of liquorice develop, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins.
• Finish: Long and refined, with sweet spice and a lingering brightness that balances the wine's intensity.

Perfect Food Pairings

This robust Cabernet Sauvignon calls for equally flavourful dishes:

• Mains: Perfectly complemented by rare roast lamb cutlets, slow-cooked lamb shanks, or a wood-fired mushroom pizza.
• Rich Flavours: Pairs beautifully with dishes featuring dark chocolate or espresso notes, such as a beef bourguignon or a rich chocolate lava cake.
• Cheese: An excellent companion to a selection of aged hard cheeses, such as cheddar or Gouda.
