Vintage: 2015
Alc %: 14.0
$ Rel: 28
A very stylish, finely balanced and elegant red for the medium term. Its alluring, floral perfume of dark plums, berries and cherries overlies gamey, earthy complexity. Approachable and complete, itÕs fullish to medium in body, with a crunchy spine of polished tannins beneath a faintly sour-edged palate of pristine fruit. It finishes savoury, with genuine length and focus.

Winery

Cullen
Cullen occupies a special place in the consciousness of Australian wine. Under Di and now Vanya Cullen, the winery has simultaneously become a leader not only in quality but also sustainability, which it has achieved through equal measures of conviction, commitment and talent. The current releases include a racy, mineral Cullen Vineyard white blend of benchmark quality, a rather nondescript Kevin John Chardonnay and a leaner, drying expression of Diana Madeline (the cabernet blend) that seems to have picked up some oak-derived volatility. I take no pleasure in reporting what I taste in these famous wines, and frankly almost hope I'm proven wrong. My role, however, demands a dispassionate stance Đ even if virtually every other wine critic supports them strongly. I note at least that the Kevin John appears to have shed the spiky, sweet-sour characters of recent vintages.
