Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 1997
South Australia, AustraliaThe "Grange Cabernet" is marked by a strong American oak. It 100 percent barrel fermented in American oak offering a "sweet," ripe nose of cedar blackberry and cassis fruit. Its black pepper, coffee tobacco flavours don't come much bigger despite what many think is a lighter year. Still the tannins are approachable and it should be drinking slightly sooner than most 707s.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $96.70 | 750ml |
