Penfold's Bin 407 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Revisited # II), $25.49, current price is approx. $85, 93 points, poured an unfiltered rosewood red with a thin bleeding meniscus and sticky fat legs.
Aromas were floral and earthy with a touch of prune and cedar chest.
Full-bodied, round and soft but wonderfully spicy, showed fair acidity, resolved tannins, and rich flavors of anise, plums, cayenne pepper, and black truffe.
Finished long on the trailing palate and a well-balanced 14.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my spiced-rubbed rib eye.
I'm so glad I bought several bottles of this wine in 2010!
