“Never in the history of Bin 407 has a cabernet of such desk-thumping precision been let loose. Coonawarra and its neighbouring regions have loaded this vintage with every classic cabernet character in the book. Tannin engineering is of NASA precision, oak balance is impeccable and that lingering, crunchy red- and blackcurrant finish is haunting. Buy fast, drink slow.”

“It’s a medium-weight wine of structure and class. It tastes of blackberries/blueberries, polished cedary/smoky oak, dust and violets. It all feels seamless and integrated. There’s better quality oak here – or oak that is more to my preference, anyway. Tannin is stringy and chalky but the juiciness of the fruit makes it all seem tidy and fresh. If I tasted this in a wine show I’d plonk a gold medal on its head – so to speak – in a heartbeat.”
