2019 Penfolds, Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia

Description

Bin 407 is inspired by Bin 707, championing the use of multi-region, multi-vineyard blending. It has a core of ripe fruit, balanced by the sensitive use of French and American oak.

This comes to mind as the best young 407 I’ve tasted to date. It’s medium-full bodied with excellent freshness. Beautifully concentrated cassis and plush dark fruit on the palate. The nose is seductive, you’ll find blackcurrant and cassis yet again, the latter in abundance. A little coconut, vanilla and even mint leaf can also be found. To summarise - it’s velvety, soft and whilst almost certainly approachable on arrival it punches far above its weight this vintage. Plenty of short-midterm cellaring potential too. For those who enjoy ripe new world Cabernet Sauvignon, you’ll be sure to find this difficult to resist over the next 5 years or so. Recommended.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20
Fairly deep purple. A certain gaminess on the nose as well as the pyrazines of Cabernet – unusual! Very sweet blackcurrant flavours and fairly rounded tannins compared with some of its stablemates. Dry but appetising finish rather than uncomfortably drying tannins on the end. Rather beguiling though still terribly young and unformed. At the moment it's pure fruit and a bit of tannin when surely it's capable of developing into something much more interesting. I'd wait for a few years.

Cabernet Sauvignon has provided a high point in Penfolds tastings through recent years, and this beauty seduces from the first whiff. Showing note-perfect varietal aromas, with a breeze of ripe purple fruit over fresh, leafy herbs and rich red earth, the perfume is full and persistent. The entry is sharp and arresting, with fruit purity on point and channelled down the right corridors by supple tannins and a clean acid seam. It shows exemplary balance through to the long finish.

Dark magenta. Ripe cherry, cassis, cracked pepper and incense aromas are complemented by suggestions of menthol, pipe tobacco and woodsmoke. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407 shows firm tension and power in the mouth, offering sappy red and dark berry, vanilla, rose pastille and spicecake qualities and a sweetening cola nuance that emerges with aeration. Juicy and energetic on the long, gently chewy finish, which features well-knit tannins and lingering spice and bitter cherry notes.
