1997 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml BThe Macallan concentrationCritic tasting note: "(2000) Very dark crimson black. Seriously deep and concentrated cassis, cedar and mint on the nose. Lots of typically Australian eucalyptus and mulberry. On the palate tight and classy fruit with a slick of vanillin oak. Quite full bodied and very concentrated, this has real quality and avoids the excess of the previous wine. Ripe, classy seam of fruit pushes through to a long finish that is dense and nicely focused." 90 100, Tom
