Cullen Diana Madeline Margaret River 2024

Consistently one of WA’s most enjoyable red wines. Lush and comforting. Ripe black fruit, chocolate-covered liquorice, cassis, and iodine edges. It smells of Wadandi Country, quality fruit, and the sense that everything will be ok. In the mouth, the drinkability at this young age is epic. Plush and integrated. Charcoal, blood plum, raspberry coulis, gum nuts, muddled strawberries and 70% chocolate. Tannins are ripe, squeaky, like raw cacao powder. And like all the biodynamic wines from Cullen, the synergy of fruit, structure and finish works like a lifeforce, in harmony. Makes you want to romanticise sadness and listen to vinyl.
