Penfolds, Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2021 weight and punch along with

weight and punch along with solid power and mid-palate concentration that adds to the appeal of the beautifully long and mouth coating finish

I first tasted the wine looking at the vineyard which is as close as it gets to the Hermitage hill or Côte-Rôtie

In this case though I suspect that the dryness is more related to the copious level of gas than any significant deficit of phenolic maturity

indeed it’s like a smaller version of a fine Riche

Penfolds, Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2021 weight and punch along withYouthful purple color. Displays pungent aromas of dried cherry, blackcurrant, licorice and mocha, with a smoky nuance gaining strength with aeration. Taut and refreshingly bitter on entry, offering spice accented dark fruit flavors and a touch of dark chocolate. The cherry and licorice qualities carry through the finish, which is firmed by youthfully chewy tannins and tangy acidity. Josh Raynolds
