"This vintage lacks the liveliness of the cooler 2017, and returns to the richer, more powerful style for which Australia's famed brand is known. It offers oodles of ripe, somewhat raisiny plum and black-currant fruit with bass notes of mint, graphite and chocolate. Muscular, chalky tannins cinch the plump fruit and spice but there's freshness and relative balance amidst the heft. Christina Pickard"

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit einem Hauch von Biskuit unterlegte schwarze Frucht, ein Hauch von Eukalyptus und Minze, zart nach Jod, Brombeeren und Lakritze klingen mit. Stoffig, zeigt feine Fruchtsüße, reife schwarze Waldbeeren, präsente, gut eingebaute Tannine, feiner Nougat, verfügt über Länge und sicheres Reifepotenzial, ätherische Nuancen im Nachhall, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter, der von ein paar weiteren Jahren Reife profitieren wird. (2025 bis 2045)"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2017 on 01.10.2020 with 93 of 100 points.
"This is a strong vintage of Bin 407, a multiregional South Australian Cab. It opens with aromas of chocolate, cola, plush plum and black cherry, backed by accents of mint and other crushed herbs. On the palate, fine, chalky tannins slink around silky fruit and savory herbs. Poised and harmonious, this has the potential to age until 2030, but is drinking well right now. Christina Pickard"

"Tabakig, feine Würze, dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, frische Orangenzesten, dezentes Nougat, rauchiges Bukett. Saftig, Anklänge von Heidelbeeren, etwas Cassis, feine runde Tannine, frischer Säurebogen ist unterlegt, schokoladiger Touch, braucht noch etwa ein bis Jahre, um in vollen Zügen genossen werden zu können."
yr. 2016 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2016 on 01.04.2019 with 90 of 100 points.
"In typical Penfolds style, this is a multi-regional, multi-vineyard blend from across the warmest regions of South Australia. The sunshine shows in the form of ripe raspberries and currants along with dark chocolate and dried mint. The palate is silky-textured and oozes with ripe, almost jammy, fruit and savory, grainy tannins. This is approachable now with time decanter and alongside protein, but best after a few years in cellar and then for the next decade. Drink 2022-2032. Christina Pickard"

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit zarter Minze und einem Hauch von Verveine unterlegte Nuancen von Cassis, Brombeeren und Gewürzen wie Curcuma und Kardamom. Saftig, elegant, reife Beerenfrucht, gut tragende Tannine, frisch strukturiert, feiner Nougat, bleibt lange haften, würziger Nachhall schwarze Kirschen im Rückgeschmack, wird von einigen Jahren Flaschenreife nur profitieren. Peter Moser"
yr. 2015 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2015 on 01.08.2018 with 90 of 100 points.
"Quieter and less showy than some of Penfolds's other reds (and certainly less complex than the upper level Bin 707), plush cherry, vanilla, milk chocolate, mint and other drying green herbs eventually make their way out of the glass. Powerful yet polished tannins wrap around tart cherry and cedary oak while a silky texture adds a soft likability to things. Still, some time in the cellar couldn't hurt to settle everything into place. Drink 2019-2028. Christina Pickard"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2014 on 01.01.2017 with 91 of 100 points.
"This is almost confectionery in its fruit sweetness, layering raspberries over black currants in wave after wave. There's a hint of mint as well, ample weight and power on the palate and a long, dusty, tannic finish. Drink now-2030."

93 of 100 Points.

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breiterer Wasserrand. Zart nach Eukalyptus, ein Hauch von Minze, schwarze Beeren, dezente Edelholzwürze. Mittlerer Körper, rote Kirschen, präsente, tragende Tannine, zarter Nougat im Abgang, Minze im Nachhall, vielseitig einsetzbar, selten so früh zugänglich wie in diesem Jahrgang."

"Falstaff" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2013 on 01.09.2015 with 92 of 100 points.
"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Intensive Cassisfrucht, ein Hauch von Pfefferminze, feine Nuancen von Grapefruitzesten, schwarze Akzente. Saftig, frisch strukturiert, schwarze Ribisel, ein Hauch von After Eight im Nachhall, finessenreicher Speisenbegleiter."

"Falstaff" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2012 on 01.03.2015 with 92 of 100 points.
"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Anklänge von Cassis, schwarze Beeren, zarte ätherische Nuancen, facettenreich und attraktiv, Pfefferminze im Hintergrund. Mittlerer Körper, zart nach After Eight, gut eingebundene Tannine, sehr harmonisch und bereits zugänglich, mineralisch und gut anhaltend, feiner Essensbegleiter."
yr. 2010 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2010 on 01.01.2015 with 90 of 100 points.
"Prices have soared for this bottling, which used to be an excellent value within the Penfolds stable. The quality is still excellent, with this 2010 offering plenty of weight and power. Vanilla and cedar notes frame chunky, extracted dark-fruit notes that pick up hints of mocha on the finish. Drink 2016-2025, possibly beyond."
yr. 2009 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.2013 with 92 of 100 points.
"Prices on all of Penfolds's bin range have surged, but at least in this case, the quality has kept pace. The 2009 Bin 407 is a worthy successor to the super 2008, offering more of the same cassis and blackberry fruit tinged with chocolate and mint. It's full bodied and plush without being soft, ending on firm, dusty tannins that still manage to leave a mouthwatering sensation behind. Past Bin 407s have easily gone 10-15 years from vintage, and there's no reason to suspect otherwise of this one."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2013 with 92 of 100 points.
"In so-called Penfolds years, when the stars align for the company, smart money is on the Bin series of wines like this Bin 407 Cabernet. It comes close to the luxury Bin 707 Cabernet in terms of quality, but at a much lower price, boasting ample body and velvety tannins. Hints of cedar, mint and mocha accent concentrated cassis and plum flavors. Drink now-2018."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2010 with 90 of 100 points.
"One suspects that the 2006 Bin 707 is a special wine, given how well the 407 has turned out. Cassis, mint and cedar are the driving forces, with chocolate and coffee chiming in on the finish. It's full bodied, finely textured and firm without being hard, ending on a softly dusty flourish of tannin. Drink now-2018."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2004 on 01.07.2009 with 88 of 100 points.
"Starts off with herbal aromatics that come surprisingly close to vegetal, but seems to gather itself with some time in the glass, adding rich chocolate and cassis aromas and flavors to the mix. Dusty tannins and a balanced but tight feel suggest a few years in the cellar. Drink 2010-2020."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2008 with 89 of 100 points.
"Consistent with the Penfolds style, this is a robust, ageworthy Cabernet that remains varietally distinct. Hints of mint mark the nose and the palate, but the core is cassis, framed by touches of vanilla. Firm tannins on the finish suggest cellaring through at least 2010."
yr. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2007 with 89 of 100 points.
"Fresh herbal notes add a cool-climate touch to this wine's cherry aromas, while on the palate chocolaty oak frames the cherry and cassis flavors. It's silky in texture, with a finish that's filled with soft but persistent tannins. Drink now through 2012."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2005 with 84 of 100 points.
"On the nose, it shows a sticky-sweet fruit and an anise accent. On the palate, there's plum fruit buried under some polished wood. A disappointing showing for what is typically a reliably impressive, complex, better-than-everyday Cabernet."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2004 with 89 of 100 points.
"Shows deep plum aromas on the nose, with juicy, judiciously oaked fruit on the palate. Medium in body, and finishes with toasty oak. A very good wine, and unmistakably Cabernet."
yr. 2000 Tom Cannavan:
89 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2004 with 89 of 100 points.
"(2004) The younger brother of Penfolds legendary Bin 707, in fact this wine benefited from the generally poor Cabernet vintage of 2000, when no 707 was made, and the grapes were instead used in this wine. It spent 16 months in French and American oak, about quarter of it new barrels. It has a lovely nose: a laid-back, complex cedar wood and blackcurrant, with a streak of bloody, gamy quality and hints of camphor and exotic spices. The palate is very fine, with a solid, chunky core of blackcurrant and damson plum fruit, a hint of vegetal, herbal flavour, and that support of cedary, smoky oak. The tannins are very ripe and fine, but quite grippy and the wine has real length, with lovely balancing acidity. Very powerful, yet elegant, this is a fine effort."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2001 with 90 of 100 points.
"Attractive blackberry aromas with bright tobacco and herb accents open this well-balanced wine. The palate shows strong cassis, earth and herb flavors, and an even mouthfeel. Finishes with dark cherry notes and full, fine tannins. This will age nicely and can use a little time. Quite flavorful and elegant."
