2020 Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot

Another beautiful, soulful release, this one a bit darker, a bit bolder, a mesh of tannins over train tracks and tension, but a wine of significant pedigree and wow factor nonetheless. Dark chocolate and graphite aromas with salted plum, black olive, bay leaf and oyster shell. Flavours ripple with authority in that weave of tannin, dark choc again, panforte perhaps more apt, dark cherry, saline minerality, more bayleaf and cinamon spice. Succulent in the finish, mouth-watering and very fresh. Compelling stuff. – 98 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
