Description

“This cabernet-dominant blend was picked at precisely the point Vanya Cullen decided the grapes had reached optimum ripeness. A sophisticated mistral blower on the sorting table removing leaf fragments and infertile berries, and a return to a basket press, have all combined to produce an extremely refined wine that is quite different to the earlier vintages.”
James Haliday, Top 100 Wines

"This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot was picked a precisely the point Vanya Cullen decided the grapes – and in particular the tannins – had reached optimum ripeness. That, plus a sophisticated mistral blower on a sorting table removing leaf fragments and infertile berries, and a return to a basket press, have all combined to produce a and extremely refined and elegant wine that is quite different to some of the earlier Cullen Cabernet Merlots. It shines with its length, finish and aftertaste."

17.5 points - Jancis Robinson

"2008 Diana Madeline is another example of Cullen’s emerging ability to achieve physiological ripeness at lower alcohols –this wine weighs-in at just 12.5%. Trust me, I was looking for signs of greenness and astringency, but they just weren’y there. Composed of 86% Cabernet sauvignon and 14% Merlot it was matured 14 months in French barriques, 48% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, this wine reveals wonderfully expressive Cabernet aromas of warm cassis, mocha, smoked duck, anise, cardamom, cinnamon stick and freshly tilled loam. Crisp, medium bodied, intense and tight-knit, this is a relatively soft textured vintage with just above a medium level of very fine tannins. The finish is satisfyingly long. Drink it 2012 to 2020+."
91 points - Lisa Perotti Brown, Wine advocate, October 2010.

Immaculate provenance - Cellared in a climate controlled wine warehouse since release.
