PENFOLDS Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 South Australia 1 BOTTLE AU$90-100 AUD $ 70

Robert Parker Score: 88 points

Reviewer: Jay S Miller — 18622 Dec 2009

The purple-colored 2006 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 12 months in 15% new French and American oak hogsheads. The nose sports an aromatic array of cedar, allspice, violets, and black currant. Slightly compact in the mouth, it has tasty flavors but a slightly pinched personality. It may be that 2-3 years of cellaring will fill it out but that is not a certainty.
