Tasting Notes
Colour : Deep, dark red, almost opaque.
Nose : Concentrated creme de cassis and damson plums
to the fore, with floral aromas in the background.
Nutty oak complexed by barrel-ferment
characters.
Palate : An opulent, flamboyant wine with definitive
varietal characters: exaggerated blueberry/
blackberry fruit, but without jamminess, layers of
flavour, obvious but balanced oak and
pronounced, chewy, ripe tannins.

The outstanding 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 is a thick, rich, full-bodied Cabernet emphasizing copious quantities of cassis fruit. Pure, with nicely integrated oak, acidity, and tannin, it cuts a broad swath across the palate. While still young and grapy, this 1998 is loaded with potential. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2015.
