17.5+ - Jancis Robinson (Tasted 20 May 2009)
Coonawarra, Barossa and Adelaide Hills! A Cabernet Sauvignon to trounce terroiristes. 100% new US oak. They didn't release the wine in 2000 and 2003 because they felt the fruit couldn't take 100% new oak. You love or loathe this wine,' says Gago. 'Lots of people dislike the blending and the US oak, though the barrels are made in Australia.'
Very dark purple. Leather and savour and 'a very alternative form of Cabernet'. A little awkward and lean in the middle at the moment. Very muscular – but much more intense than most Coonawarra Cabernets. Opened out in the glass – less angular. (JR)

Critic Reviews

96 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

“An effortlessly luxuriant and pure wine, with juicy blackcurrant and cassis fruit supported by positive, but fine and ripe tannins; only Penfolds can use 100% American oak to such good effect. Great 707. 17.5+ - Jancis Robinson (Tasted 20 May 2009) Coonawarra, Barossa and Adelaide Hills! A Cabernet Sauvignon to trounce terroiristes. 100% new US oak.
