A perennial top seller and for good reason! This blood red Cabernet Sauvignon has often been described as a more approchable younger brother of Penfolds Bin 707. In 1998 Penfolds hit a home run with this wine - its a rich, ripe mouthful of creamy fruit, cassis, and clove spice with a long, silky finish. Colour: Deep red with magenta hues. Nose: Expressive varietal lift - predominantly blackcurrant with a hint of tomato leaf. Wild raspberry and blackberry nuances become evident as the wine sits in the glass. A subtle background of spicy, smoky oak. Palate: Generous ripe berry fruits - like blackcurrant conserve - with a suggestion of praline. Pronounced, yet not aggressive, tannins. Finishes with a fruit sweetness and balanced oak/tannin firmness. Serving and Cellaring Suggestions: This wine will gain complexity and evolve with careful cellaring. An ideal accompaniment to roast lamb.
