Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon is an earthier style displaying classic aromas of cassis, plum and pencil shavings with some earth, olives, spice box and cloves. Very structured by firm, grainy tannins, it is concentrated and muscular with good acid freshness through the long and layered finish. It needs 1-2 years more of aging and will drink to 2030+.
