Evening tasting of Cullen 2018 Diana Madeline: 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet
Franc and 5% Malbec. 50% new oak. The conservative Huon Hooke gave this wine 97 points and
rated it Margaret River’s Number 1 Cabernet Sauvignon (blend). Ray Jordan rated it 99 points and
suggested cellaring until after 2050…but old folks don’t have time! Expect prominent tannins.
