Classy Cabernet with typical varietal cedarwood, blackberry and very slightly minty flavours. Supple, elegant and appealing wine with stylish oak and subtle spicy flavours. Firm, fine tannins give the wine good backbone and obvious potential

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up pure creme de cassis and blackberry preserve aromas accented by lovely menthol, carob and espresso notes plus a hint of marmite. Very tightly structured with a great backbone of medium-firm, very fine tannins, it remains rich and muscular with nice acid freshness through the long finish. Approachable now, it drinks to 2022+.
