Review Detail
2013 Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot
Wine Rating
97
The Kevin John and Diana Madeline releases from Cullen have to come close to being the best red and white combination from a winery in Australia. Cullen epitimise minimal intervention winemaking - they are biodynamic and carbon nuetral, use wild yeast and wild malo with no acid additions to their wines.
A deep but glossy red in the glass, the concentration of this wine is incredible it's bursting with blackberry and blackcurrant with background leafy aspects and a suggestion of oak.
The age old analogy of an iron fist in a velvet glove is a great metaphor for this wine, there is elegance and definition to the glossy and expressive black fruits on the palate that is seemlessly integrated with richer milk chocolate notes and a web of supple tannins.
There is a true peacocks tail to finish with length capable of outlasting a conversation.
