WTN: 1998 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon

[futronic]

Dark ruby red, almost opaque. Aromas of vanilla, oak, raspberry, and black fruit. Full-bodied with raspberry, currant, and plums leading to a slightly tart 30+ second finish. 87 points

Not that I have this or have had tis, but I'm disappointed. I'd've expected it to score better.... Ah well, there's always more wine to try, right?

tj,

Keep in mind that this is only the Bin 407 and not the Bin 707. 1998 was a good year in Oz generally speaking, but the better fruit always goes into the 707. I don't recall the vineyard breakdown of what ends up in each bottling.
