MASTER — The Global Cabernet Masters · 2025 · 2022 Vintage
98/100 — Ken Gargett · 2022 Vintage
"The wine is poised, taut and offers exemplary focus, balance and intensity, along with great length, power and finesse. This is a truly superb 707, finishing as intensely as it started. It will provide pleasure for the long haul, at least 20 to 30 years. 98 points."
98/100 — Ray Jordan · 2022 Vintage
97/100 — Tyson Stelzer · 2022 Vintage
"The grand juxtaposition of densely compacted power and towering structure that set Bin 707 off with epic longevity are heightened in the cool nights of 2022. A deep singularity of blackcurrant and cassis sets the definition of varietal integrity, with all the impact of Penfolds’ new American oak impacting layers of high cocoa dark chocolate and immense tannin scaffolding. For all of its expansive proportions, it retains consummate control and tightly-coiled endurance that will sustain it confidently for half a century. 97 points."
97/100 — Jeni Port, Winepilot · 2022 Vintage
"As ever, a powerful, solid statement of cabernet intent. Bin 707 rarely takes prisoners in its youth, the beauty comes with age, something to remember, although it looks like the usual 20 months in new American oak hogsheads is now (and has been in recent releases) a more reasonable 18 months. Subtle winemaking changes are afoot at Penfolds across a number of its wines. Lift off in blackberry compote, cherry chocolate, nutmeg, bay leaf, sage herbals, iodine and Mediterranean black olive savoury notes. The vinous pulse quickens, flavours become more elevated to taste, especially so across the middle palate with earthy, bracken notes on the rise in tandem with rosemary, thyme and leaf against a solid background of black fruit intensity. Dense tannins rule. A blend of four regions – Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale – from a cool vintage. A memorable finish with lingering woodsy spice. 97 points."
97/100 — Andrew Caillard MW · 2022 Vintage
About This Wine
The 2022 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon is presented in a gift box.
Bin 707 is a Cabernet Sauvignon expression of the Penfolds House Style: intensely flavoured fruit, completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak, and multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964.
The 2022 vintage drew on Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale, with conditions allowing flavour, tannin and colour to develop under strong late-season ripening conditions.
Producer Notes
Inspired by the iconic jet that took it to the world. The rich and powerful Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, our first commercial release of a single cabernet-based wine, is linked to Max Schubert’s dream of making a great Australian red wine that could last at least 20 years.
