Penfolds, Bin 704 Cabernet Sauvignon Size:6x750ml edged by a graphite noteTrying to bring a Penfolds personality to a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon parcels from the Napa Valley has mixed results, with the raw power of the fruit bringing a density typical of the region that overwhelms any subtle varietal nuances. Big black cherry and blackberry bass notes are softened by some meaty savoury notes, but the intensity keeps driving hard through a very big flavour corridor. Built for a long life in the cellar.
