Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 1996

South Australia, AustraliaServed as part of a mini vertical with the '98 and the 1990. Its big "sweet" American oak nose is dissipating revealing a ripe fruity nose of blackberry and cassis with lots of smoke, bacon and cedar highlights. Rich and round with some tannin providing structure, the black pepper, coffee and tobacco flavours are persistent with a long peppery, cassis, smoky finish. Oz cabernet doesn't come much bigger than this and this is considered a lighter year by some.Tasted: 01 March 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
