Jeremy Oliver 97 points!"This is a great wine and one of the very finest Bordeaux blends ever produced at cullens. It was made using all o fthe five red grape varieties of Bordeaux, with Cabernet Sauvignon comprising three quarters of the blend. Merlot was the next most important contributor with 16%, followed by Malbec 5%, Cabernet Franc 4%, and Petit Verdot 1%. The wine has benefited from having been matured for 19 months in French barriques, of which 70% were new.
Colour: Magnificent deep inky red with strong purple meniscus.
Bouquet: Youthful, concentrated and intense pot-pourri of dark berry fruits.
Palate: Powerful and sumptuous, with the wonderful black cherry flavours in the middle palate being backed by fine-grained tannins and leading into a rewardingly long and lingering finish."
