Expert Reviews

Double thick lamb loin chops and a cold winter's night left no choice. It had to be cabernet sauvignon, and a substantial one at that. The tasting note in the sixth edition of The Rewards of Patience wasn't eulogistic, but suggested it was powerful and chunky - and that's what I had in mind. I may have been in a good frame of mind, but I actively enjoyed it, agreeing with Rewards that it needed to be drunk soon.

For reasons I don't now recall, I had cut the capsule, but the end of the cork looked perfect. Of course, it wasn't. Penfolds had a long career of buying indifferent quality corks that are now a nightmare to remove, coring out and adhering resolutely to the sides of the neck, breaking into pieces, and so on. Over the years, I have built up a safecracker's armoury of tools, including a fine mesh stainless steel sieve if all else fails. And it did. James Halliday - 28/07/2011

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Medium crimson. Cassis/leafy aromas with some minty notes. The palate is solid and chewy with sweet cassis minty flavours and leafy tannins. Penfolds The Rewards of Patience Fifth Edition

Winery Profile

The 1964 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was Penfolds’ first commercial release of a single cabernet-based wine. Today, Bin 707 is justifiably regarded as one of Australia’s most important cabernets.

The winemaking philosophy and barrel maturation of Bin 707 is almost identical to Grange. The Bin 707 style combines intense varietal definition with new American oak to produce wines of great richness, harmony and concentration.

Over the years the development of Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon has mirrored the advances in winemaking and viticulture and in this sense has served as a representation of progress and excellence within the industry.Bin 707 proudly bears the Penfolds stamp – displaying a fascinatingly complex marriage of ripe, concentrated cabernet fruit and 100% new American oak, forged together through partial barrel fermentation. It displays dark berried fruit, mocha and chocolate overtones, with warm spice notes.

Bin 707 is a medium to long term cellaring style of wine. It will comfortably gain stature and complexity across more than two decades in the bottle.

91 Points. Campbell Mattinson - Wine Front. 22nd Sept 2009

This 1989 version of Bin 707 was tasted as part of the Penfolds Rewards of Patience tastings in 2007. I don’t have information of where each vintage is sourced from but I will fill that in later.

Developing nicely. Has a fresh juiciness that the older wines lacked. Clean, juicy, complete. There are indeed some tomato-leaf characters, but the integrated, interwoven nature of the wine presents them positively. Lots of tannin, mind. And a fair degree of fruit sweetness still, as though the grapes used to make it were a mix of slightly unripe and slightly over-ripe. Treacle-like in some ways. I enjoyed it.
