The story of Penfolds Bin 407 CabS 2023

Bin 407 was launched in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, as good Cabernet Sauvignon fruit became easier to find in South Australia. Penfolds took its inspiration from Bin 707, and aimed for a wine with varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour.

It is a multi-regional blend by design, and the mix changes each year. The 2023 draws mainly on Padthaway, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, the Barossa Valley and Wrattonbully. It is matured in French and American oak, some of which previously held Bin 707, and over the years the style has moved so that the fruit takes the lead and the oak sits further back.

The 2023 is still young. The nose is restrained, with liquorice, cassis and graphite, plus a little dark chocolate, and the palate is firm, with oak that is showing more than the fruit for now. That is a good reason to put a few bottles away and come back to them around 2030.

If you open one sooner, decant it and serve it at 18 to 20 degrees. Grilled steak with a mushroom and pepper sauce suits its structure well.
