Each contributes to the layered style: Coonawarra adds cassis and structure, Padthaway freshness and lifted aromatics, while McLaren Vale imparts richness and warmth. The wine was matured in a mix of French and American oak hogsheads for 14 months, delivering both polish and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eVintage\u003cbr data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e2002 was a landmark vintage for South Australia, widely considered outstanding for Cabernet Sauvignon.

The bouquet opens with cassis, black cherry, and mint, layered with cedar, tobacco, and subtle mocha from oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with ripe blackcurrant and plum supported by fine-grained tannins. Classic Cabernet leafiness and earthy undertones add complexity. The finish is long, firm, and poised, marking this as one of the standout Bin 407s for cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"2236\"\u003eTechnical Information\u003cbr data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003eRegion: South Australia (Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale)\u003cbr data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2029\"\u003eVariety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2064\"\u003eAlcohol: ~13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2082\"\u003eMaturation: 14 months in French \u0026amp; American oak hogsheads\u003cbr data-start=\"2138\" data-end=\"2141\"\u003eClosure: Cork\u003cbr data-start=\"2154\" data-end=\"2157\"\u003eDrinking Window: 2008–2030 (still drinking beautifully with proper cellaring)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2238\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eA Collectible Gem\u003cbr data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2258\"\u003eThe 2002 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and cellar-worthy wine, combining varietal purity with Penfolds’ signature polish.
