Delicious aroma presentation of mulberry, cherry, rose, violets, dark chocolate and ironstone. The palate displays powerful fruit intensity, an abundance of fine tannins and a deliciously long profile. Classic old vine Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon from a great year.

99 pts/#25 Top 100 - James Suckling: “This is a superb edition of this revered, cabernet-based blend with such complete, seamless and elegant feel, yet there’s such depth of flavor, too. Aromas of fresh redcurrants, red and violet flowers, subtle spice, fresh earth, paper bark, fresh-picked thyme and sage, red berries and some cedary notes. The palate is stunning and has a brand of elegance with power that is found in only the greatest wines. Pristine mulberries, red plums, blueberries and red cherries sail through layers of fine tannin, into an unwaveringly long and vibrant finish. An exceptionally concentrated and convincing Diana Madeline release, this is one of their finest. A blend of 79% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 5% malbec.”
98 pts - Decanter: “Authoritative, with blackcurrant and mulberry fruit nuanced by deep notes
of tobacco, bitter chocolate, currant leaf, dried rose and cedar. With beautifully
understated gravitas, the fine-textured graphite tannins and incisive acidity sustain a long, penetrating finish. Reflecting ideal harvest conditions, fruit for this ultracomposed Bordeaux blend was picked over one month on fruit and flower days, including a full-moon fruit day, then part-fermented in amphorae, before ageing in
80% biodynamic barrels (50% new).”
