Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407 2001
South Australia, AustraliaThe 407 fruit sources include Bordertown and Coonawarra with significant parcels from McLaren Vale, Robe and Kalimna. Look for blackberry jam, cassis, vanilla, spicy tobacco black olive aromas. Ripe, rich, warm entry with somewhat dry, gritty tannins. Good spicy, peppery, vanilla, black olive tight at this point but beggining to soften. Will need a few years to round out but should improve. Definitely a bit more restrained and less fat than prior vintages.Tasted: 05 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
