Cullen Wines Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2006

Some idea of the potential of the 2006 Diana Madeline can be gauged by the fact that the 1982 Cabernet Merlot is still drinking very well and showing no signs of being on its last legs. The 2006 Diana Madeline was made from a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. The wine was matured for 15 months in French barriques, of which 40% were new. This wine is a deep ruby red, garnet with a crimson meniscus in colour. The nose is a combination of fresh and complex chocolate and black berry Cabernet fruit aromas. The palate is elegant, rich and flavoursome. Classic fresh, "crunchy" black berry Cabernet fruit are backed by firm but unobtrusive tannins. Great length and leaves lovely lingering flavours.
