Composed of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2010 Diana Madeline was aged for an average of 19 months in French barriques, 51% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it offers an intense perfume of crushed black currants, blackberry preserves and mulberries with underlying clove, cedar, yeast extract, black olive and damp loam hints. The modest light to medium-bodied palate really packs the flavor into an elegant package with layer upon layer of youthful blackberry and spice flavors supported by a firm level of finely grained tannins and crisp acidity, finishing long. It should drink best 2015 to 2028+. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

Firm in texture, boasting chewy tannins that clamp onto a gorgeous thread of currant, boysenberry, tobacco and black pepper flavors, which manage to float free on the long, expressive finish. Needs cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2025. 100 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add

Such a subtle, noble wine! Classic claret with dusty refinement but no shortage of ripe fruit. Just coming into its own. Far from galumphing; some palates may even want more weight. But it was a huge treat for all 400 attendees of the 2016 Sydney Room to Read wine gala.
