The wine then shifts more into the blackberry and bitter chocolate flavours on the long palate, sustained by lingering tannins. More elegant than the Bin 389, but will also be very long lived.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Magazine · 1998 Vintage · Tasted: Feb 2002\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Wine Front · 1998 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jeremy Oliver · 1998 Vintage · Tasted: Jan 2003\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality cabernet sauvignon fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, while retaining structure and depth of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTextbook cabernet sauvignon, Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1998 was an outstanding vintage and many Penfolds wines would vie for the top honours of the decade alongside the 1990 and 1996 vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coonawarra delivered large volumes of remarkably consistent grapes and it was immediately clear that Cabernet was of wonderful, generous quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOUR \u003c\/strong\u003eDeep red with purple hued rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE \u003c\/strong\u003eClassic, varietally defined Cabernet Sauvignon aromas with a hint of eucalyptus.
