Penfolds Bin 704 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750mL

Tasting Notes

COLOUR Dark red rim with a black core. NOSE A sophisticated potpourri of dried flowers and aromatic herbs such as marjoram and sage, accompanied by black and red fruits that provide a vibrant counterpoint. The rusticity of fennel Cacciatori and traditional black pudding adds depth, while notes of freshly baked olive bread adds warmth and comfort. Bay leaf notes mingle with black pepper, all underpinned by subtle notes of oak char and cedar wood. PALATE On the palate, this wine presents fennel/anise and black liquorice flavours that pave the way for fine yet powerful mouthcoating tannins. The weighty structure carries savoury nuances (artisanal charcuterie paired with tangy barberries) adding layers of complexity. Cherry nuances – both cherry pip tartness and white cherry subtle sweetness – play off each other elegantly. The finish is punctuated by notes of preserved salty plum, which linger long after the last sip.
