Note di degustazione
The 2024 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is a multiregional Cabernet blend, this year from Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully and Barossa Valley. The wine matured for 12 months in French (16% new, 36% seasoned) and American (5% new, 43% seasoned) oak hogsheads. Aromatically, the wine is perfumed and leafy, layered with dark fruit and an abundance of spices. This is excellent, better than I ever recall seeing it, primarily perhaps because it feels distinctly varietal and fresh, leafy and detailed. It bears all the hallmarks of the Penfolds house style, of course, but this takes a backseat to the fruit, which I appreciate. This is excellent. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

Classically cabernet with blackcurrants, eucalyptus, bitter chocolate, nutmeg, potash and a herbaceous, earthy undertone. The palate is full-bodied with gritty tannins, a supple mid-palate and a ferric, salivating finish. A multi-regional blend from Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully and Barossa Valley, drinking well now with plenty of life ahead. Drink or hold.
Fruit from Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully, Barossa Valley. Matured for 12 months in French (16% new, 36% seasoned) and American (5% new, 43% seasoned) oak hogsheads. Lifted, elegant, perfumed Cabernet aromas, some floral notes over medium-weight fruit. Surprisingly elegant – perhaps a little light, even, for the Penfolds house style? Well made, fine tannins, but lacks a little fruit intensity and complexity. Max Allen
I love the clarity of varietal expression in this multi-region blend, which uses fruit from Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully and Barossa to produce a textbook Cabernet. This vintage is already expressive, with layered aromas of cassis, blackberry and raspberry, tapenade, baking spices and eucalyptus. Chiselled black fruit is elegantly framed by chalky tannins, with a savoury undertow, driven towards a long finish by juicy acidity. Released at £75, this is Penfolds’ best-value elite Cab: snap it up.
