The 1997 Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot from Margaret River, Australia has earned 95 points from James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion) and 91+ points from Stephen Tanzer (Vinous).
Medium to full red-purple; powerful, but perfectly balanced, dark berry fruit and oak on the bouquet is logically followed by a palate with great depth to the dark berry fruit, lingering but balanced tannins, and exemplary oak. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (95 pts)
Critic Reviews
95 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“Medium to full red-purple; powerful, but perfectly balanced, dark berry fruit and oak on the bouquet is logically followed by a palate with great depth to the dark berry fruit, lingering but balanced tannins, and exemplary oak.”
91 Points - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
“Full ruby-red. Fruit-driven aromas of plum, currant, raspberry, tobacco and mint, plus a leafy suggestion of cabernet franc. Very concentrated and stuffed with fruit; superripe but not over the top. Firm acids and substantial but fully ripe tannins give this dense wine the power and structure to age slowly in bottle.”
87 Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
“This wine's low-keyed, restrained aromatics and flavors may prove more exciting to some readers.”
