  • 1982 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon John Riddoch 96 Points

    Tasted blind. Earthy and leafy nose. Some berry fruit. Some mint. Red fruits. Textured and fragrant. Lifted fruit. Fantastic wine. Such lovely definition and transparency on the palate. Would have to be the best Australian wine I've had. Decades left. 96 - 97.

  • 2001 Cullen Wines Diana Madeline Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 92 Points

    Tasted blind. Leaner nose. Intense, tense palate with ripe mulberry. But the length doesn't follow through and it finishes short. 92.

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
