Let’s get the in-house Penfolds riddle out of the way: the Bin number 704 is the reverse of it’s South Australian classic Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is all Napa Valley material crafted by Penfolds winemakers, confident and expressive from the outset, more redolent of crimson berries than darker fruits with a fabulous waft of the full spice cabinet, thanks perhaps to a judicious 17-month maturation in French oak, 40% new. There’s plenty of drive in the palate, warm with ripeness, potent though deftly proportioned.
