Note di degustazione
77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc. Biodynamic. Still a very deep blackish garnet. Obviously Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose. Great tension and lively acidity but a massive spread of complex, minerally, iodine-scented fruit. Really sophisticated, mouth-filling but not alcoholic. Drier than the 2018 at this point. Lip-smacking! (JR)

From magnums described here . 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. (JR)
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
(77% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot4% malbec and 3% cabernet franc; 13% alcohol): Dark ruby. Redcurrant, cherry and pipe tobacco on the highly perfumed nose, with a touch of allspice. Aeration brings up darker fruits and a hint of candied violet. Shows very good concentration and focus, with no excess fat and excellent finishing clarity.
