Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Feeling like a good Australian Cab Sav, I went for a Penfolds. On the bouquet were aromas of blackcurrants, cassis, olives, bay leaf, oak and a hint of meat juices. On the palate it was quite deep with fruits dominated by savoury flavours, dusty and earthy tannins and some nice use of oak. Overall quite a robust and well made wine, but somehow it didn't inspire me. I do enjoy this style of cab sav a lot, but somehow this just was too straightforward, and not intelligent enough somehow.
50+4+13+17+7 = 91/100
