"A bottle for Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts: a splendor to be enjoyed now or left to age for two decades..."
"This is a very good 707. Often a little rustic, this one is more sophisticated than I remember. Powerful tannins with a hint of steel. Like a series of alloy ball bearings, it rolls generously across the palate, delivering notes of iodine, bouquet garni, a touch of tapenade and blackcurrant in all the right places. Rich and powerful, but also detailed and flavorful at the same time. The juicy character of the fruit effortlessly transcends the woodiness, hinting at a very promising future. A wonderful wine in the making. It will be even better after 2027." (James Suckling 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Deep black color, dense, ruby highlights on the rim
Nose
Fresh and lively, charming aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, fig, and cooked black plum, with more complex scents of nutmeg and cumin gradually revealing themselves, along with some tertiary notes of toasted bread and dark chocolate.
Mouth
Enveloping, almost lush, aromatic power carried by a wave of fresh blackberry, fig, raspberry, and blackcurrant enhanced with licorice, ripe and firm tannins, brilliant, framing a magnificent structure, finish with a creamy texture and flavors of cocoa powder and cinnamon brioche.

About wine:
Delicious floral aromas mingle with milk chocolate, blackcurrant, and plum, creating a subtly seductive bouquet. Fresh and lively, yet delicately aromatic, it draws you in irresistibly. Supple and juicy, it is energetic and tannic, yet lively and precise, giving it a certain tension, but also plenty of flavor and bite. I love the Cabernet notes; this wine is refined and very typical, with the identifiable signature of this great wine. Sleek, charming, very chalky with lots of minerality. Still young, but it fits very well into the context of a cooler vintage and is very pleasant to drink. Elegant throughout the tasting. 2024-2040

About wine:
Blackish purple. Rich and satisfying nose. Smooth and velvety. This is undoubtedly a Cabernet from South Australia, thousands of miles from Bordeaux, but it works. Full-bodied and flattering, without too much dryness on the finish. Although the official notes suggest that this wine will be ready to drink from 2026, I think it is ready to be enjoyed sooner than many others thanks to the maturity of its tannins. But I am sure it will continue to improve. 2024-2044
