Critic tasting note: (2006 vintage) "Cullen's Diana Madeline is amazingly consistent from year to year, and the 2006 continues that tradition. It's maybe a touch fuller-bodied and rounder than some years, but maintains a sense of restraint and a timeless blend of tobacco, cedar and cassis, finishing with a flourish of mint." - Wine Enthusiast

2006 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2009
(2009) Juicy cherry and plum fruit dominate, with lovely depth and sweet ripeness. Charry oak hints are well integrated and in the background. The palate is beautifully mellow, with smooth, creamy fruit and a fine tannin background. Absolutely à pointe stuff.

At 12 yrs old, could easily be mistaken for a Bordeaux. Lovely black fruit, fine tannins and emerging secondary characters like graphite. Still could wait another 5 yrs comfortably
