Critic reviews
"Having had the privilege of tasting many vintages of this wine back to 1964, this is, given time, a superb wine. The inclusion of American oak helps to protect the fruit sweetness over time—I don't know the science of that, however it holds true anecdotally. Here, through the prism of the 2023 vintage, the wine is fresh and yet ripe, and the cool season has taken some of the weight from the bottom register. It was sourced from McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Barossa Valley and matured for 18 months in American oak hogsheads. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."
Erin Larkin, July 2025, RobertParker.com
"This is such a refined and focused cabernet sauvignon, deeply perfumed and lifted, with aromas of blackcurrants, cedar, grilled meat, bitter chocolate, ink, dried flowers and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied, silken, textural and tightly wound, with a creamy, chocolaty finish. An Australian classic of the highest order. Excellent. Drink or hold."
James Suckling, July 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Eucalyptus, mint leaf, cocoa bean and cassis straight off the bat, a kick of spice and a ton of personality and swagger. A more charged version of Cabernet than you usually find in Bordeaux, with the precision and purity of cassis fruit, sweet red liquorice and floral aromatics that is entirely singular to this wine. Cabernet lovers should get on board - this is muscular, with walls and floors, all delivered with a lightness of touch. Tom King director, Peter Gago chief winemaker."

"‘Coonawarra in 2023 had a bit of a rough patch for Cabernet,’ notes chief winemaker Peter Gago. Consequently none was deemed up to the standard required for Bin 707 (and indeed, no Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet was made in 2023 either). So this iteration of Penfolds’ top-tier multi-region Cab is 68% McLaren Vale, 18% Padthaway and 14% Barossa Valley, maturing (like Grange) in 100% new American oak hogsheads for 18 months. The oak is quite prominent at the moment, giving a glossy coconut sheen to this always imposing wine, but this muscular frame, plus firm, chalky, tannins and a vibrant vein of acidity will ensure a long life. Dark chocolate-coated red cherries lead the flavour charge, alongside boysenberries and cassis, along with an exotic savoury twist of tapenade, tarmac, biltong, incense, roasted hazelnuts, eucalypt – endlessly complex and long. "

"(South Australia; 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; the fruit sourced from Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully; pH 3.66; aged 18 months in new American oak hogsheads; 14.5% alcohol). So gracious and glossy in texture, very lithe and expressive, evolving and flowing as it does so over the palate. Ultra-fine grained tannins trace the shapely exterior. Really plush and elegant in style. Finessed. Better even than the excellent 2022."
