2022 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon

97 Points - Ray Jordan, rayjordan.com.au

“This is another multi-regional blend from vineyards in Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale and the Barossa. This marks the continuing more to the cooler southern regions, especially in a year like 2022 which was superb down there. Aromas of floral, sage and dried herbs on the nose. The palate shows delicious, sweet ripe fruit with flavours of iron filings. I reckon this is one of the best yet under this label. Like that seashell minerality and chalky character on the finish. Cellar 20 years.”

“From a vintage that Peter Gago ranks even marginally above the very impressive 2021 in Coonawarra, this is a Bin 407 that delivers a core of compact, textbook blackcurrant, cassis and blackberry fruit, set to a framework of strong, fine-grained tannins, limestone mineral tannins and the bright acidity of cool nights. French and American oak deepen tannin presence and contribute high cocoa dark chocolate character. An enduring Bin 407 of great character, endurance and grandeur. Drink: 2042-2052.”
