Rich, slightly stewed red & black fruit with hints of wet tabacco leaf and a touch of oyster shell and smoke, seductive stuff. Black fruit dominates and this has a firm mid-palate, mouth coating, fruit filled tannin, food friendly, Bordeaux esq

Jul 9th, 2015Quite green to start but after some air this offers wet rose garden and dark raspberry fruit. Quite a dry palate with juicy but slightly bitter redcurrant and cranberry fruit, good tannin integration, finishes a touch tart

Jul 9th, 2015Light-weight bottle, mid-weight wine, perfectly pitched too - its layers from great fruit, with red plum, blackberry, iodine, violets and spice - harmonious, fragrant and lovely to drink.

Jul 5th, 2014Cullen Mangan at 18 years - superbly delicious and reintegrated compared to where it was at 10 years old. The Malbec and Petit Verdot still seem to oxidize at different rates upon opening, but each stop on the train is interesting and delicious. At about an hour out it is scrumptious. Well crafted and worth laying down for a good long while

Sep 20th, 2020Was interesting to see the 2015 vintage in a restaurant so early. Was young and powerful but the edges are elegant and beginning to smooth. Dark, clean and dry.
