Cullen Cabernet-Merlot 'Diana Madeline' 2003 --Tanzer 93, Jeremy Oliver 95 750ml



$69.99
1 available

Winemaker Vanya Cullen is one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Australia.



"A deeply fruited, finely balanced, firm and long-living cabernet blend. Its alluring, dark perfume of violets, cassis, mulberries, dark cherries and blood plums is supported by fragrant and fine-grained chocolate/vanilla and cedary oak, with undertones of forest floor. Satiny soft, its plush palate of juicy small berry and cherry flavour is framed by firm, powdery tannins and backed by smooth, polished chocolate oak. Charming, spotlessly clean and beautifully measured. (Margaret River, 18.6/95, drink 2015-2023)"  95 pts, Jeremy Oliver's On Wine 04-16-05.



"(A blend of 72% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot and 4% each petit verdot and malbec) Deep, bright ruby. Intensely aromatic nose exudes wild strawberry, bitter cherry, rose and patchouli oil, cigarbox, black pepper and peat.Concentrated and quite densely packed, displaying a collection of red fruit flavors, especially ripe redcurrant, along with vanilla, cinnamon and licorice candy. Manages the neat trick of being intense yet delicate, and dense and very ripe but also suave and lively. The finish is bright, the tannins silky and fine-grained." 93 points, Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 05.
