Cullen Diana Madeline 2020
Cabernet Sauvignon | Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia
Arguably one of Australia’s finest Cabernet blends, this vintage was especially dry, leading to tiny yields of concentrated berries. This has left the 2020 with a bold tannin structure that will lead this to age beautifully for decades. Within that tannin frame sit layers of dense, velvet dark berry fruit and perfumed violets and plum. Spicy and brooding, remaining elegant and lifted on the finish.
“Has the usual estate blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and malbec (92/4/3/1%), the grapes hand picked on fruit days between early February and early March, the components matured in French oak (50% new) for 13 months. The perfumed bouquet has already soaked up the new oak, the purity of the fruit in a cassis-redcurrant-blueberry spectrum. The small berries of a quasi-drought summer might have imposed awkward tannins, but the medium-bodied palate is so perfectly balanced it has a drinking span of 30 years and counting.”
