Cullen Cabernet Merlot 1996

90 points

Margaret River, Western Australia. 13.5%

i wanted to see just how good Margaret River Cabernet could get so I bought one of the very best at an age when it can be fairly assessed.

It’s a flash sleek modern wine. But a bit simple. Somewhat underwhelmed. To be fair I’ll next try it against a 96 Bordeaux.
