Cullen 'Diana Madeline' Cabernet Blend 2022
$170
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec. Aged in 55% new French oak.
Black and blue fruit, baking spice oak, some violet perfume, ripe raspberries too. It?s a plush wine with plenty of sweet red fruit, grainy tannin, a layer of sweet spiced oak, some earthy/ferrous character, but largely defined by slightly jubey red fruit and sweet spiced oak. It has a chewiness and plenty of flavour, though maybe lacks the customary depth and intensity of Cullen DM. Length is good. Looked much more cohesive after 24 hours, with better integration of tannin and oak, and more depth. 93 points, drink 2024-2034+, Gary Walsh, WineFront.
