The 2016 Cullen Mangan East Block Red is bright deep purple.
Violets, cherries and spicy notes create a captivating bouquet. Palate is structured but juicy with blood plums and mulberry fruit evident. Balanced and refined tannins carry to the finish complemented by the Petit Verdot acidity. East Block Red will cellar at least 10 years.
