"Deep crimson. Elegant blackcurrant, black olive, graphite aromas with meaty, vanilla, mocha notes. Supple and well concentrated with attractive blackcurrant, blackberry fruits, fine graphite, touch al dente tannns and plentiful mocha espresso oak notes. Finishes muscular / chewy / cedary firm and minerally. A very polished wine with lovely fruit density and torque. The alter-ego of Grange with marvelous varietal definition, complexity, volume and drive." - Andrew Caillard MW - 97 points

Bin 707 is a perfect cabernet sauvignon representation of Penfolds ‘House Style’: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011 or 2017 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available). Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.
