Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 is simply a chocolate box of layered delights, revealing crème de cassis and black cherry notes plus underlying roasted nuts, espresso, licorice, pepper, menthol hints and a waft of cedar chest. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the firm, grainy structure well-supports the densely packed fruit and savory layers, finishing with epic persistence and on a spicy note. This is a keeper that should cellar well over 20+ years!
