Cullen, Margaret River, Western Australia “Diana Madeline” Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 95 Points



Blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, Bright ruby red with purple rim.

Clean, high intensity, typical Cabernet austerity, with ripe cassis, blackcurrant, earthy, gravelly, lead pencil and cedar wood complexity, subtle oaking, fantastic purity with spot on ripeness, mineral expression.

Dry, with a Medoc like structure, very fresh, vibrant, moderate plus ripe tannins, long and persistent, savory, tobacco, cigar farewell, purity follows through, now until 2025+
