French and American oak deepen tannin presence and contribute high cocoa dark chocolate character. An enduring Bin 407 of great character, endurance and grandeur. 96 Points.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Decanter World Wine Awards · 2022 Vintage · Tasting Date: Jan 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Huon Hooke, The Real Review · 2022 Vintage · Tasting Date: 03 Jul 2024\u003cbr\u003e“Very deep, dense purple colour; intense sweet floral blackcurrant aroma, cassis, blueberry and violets. The wine is intense and full-bodied, robustly structured and ripe, with masses of tannins and concentrated flavour and texture. Quite powerful and long, a very serious Bin 407.

A core of ripe fruit is well supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Dark plum, opaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: A blend of raw (unroasted) coffee beans, pencil shavings and graphite, establish a nose that speaks to varietal character. A wild herb garden unfolds, bringing marjoram, thyme flowers, rocket, sage and rosemary to the forefront while notes of crème de cassis liqueur reinforce varietal credentials. A waft of violets lends a delicate touch to the nose. Richness ensues with the aroma of Portuguese tart custard cream — its sweet spice complexity further embellished by cinnamon, vanilla and pimento. Overall, sweet notes dominate but are beautifully anchored by earthier elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: The core is undeniably sweet\/rich yet sophisticated. The wine opens expansively — firm in structure yet big and glossy on approach. Tannins are remarkably balanced; they assert their presence without detracting from the lush blackcurrant fruit at its heart. Freshness is maintained through lively acidity, contributing greatly to the wine’s depth and length. Well-integrated oak underpins these flavours without overwhelming them — focused and enhancing rather than competing with the fruit profile. A hint of Sarsaparilla adds an unexpected twist that lingers into the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenfolds is one of Australia’s most iconic wineries, renowned for its multi-regional blending approach and consistent production of benchmark wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2026–2040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51156278804795,"sku":"SK53487404","price":119.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/2022_407_91587cfe-b4df-434b-9d5b-ac651b4e1c1d.png?v=1777596874","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2022-penfolds-bin-407-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
