Bleasdale, Frank Potts, Langhorne Creek

Shows Aussie in its ripe concentration of fruit and aciditfication. Not moving all that fast in evolution, so there is no rush.

Excellent wine, classic Langhorne Creek and Bleasdale that has aged very well. 14% alc. 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Malbec, 20% Shiraz, 13% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot Colour: jet black, crimson edges Bouquet: rich blackberry fruit, spice, vanilla, licorice and leather, black pepper and olives Palate: Very big bodied but silky smooth. Cereal flavour, blackberry, and similar flavours to bouquet. Belies its age. Good berry character and mouthfeel. with lots of freshness still, but finishing very dry. Great balance and length. …

Alas, despite long aging in the cellar it doesn't really seem to have developed all that much complexity. It's still big and fruity, and delicious for that, I just didn't get much else going on.

Savory with its big fruit character, complex but still Australian. And who says Australian wine can't age?

Day One: initial nose was a bit swampy. That blew off somewhat but I'm not sure this was a good bottle. Berry fruit, very minerally and round on the mid-palate, slightly short on the finish. Not a typical Australian but not a complete cabernet experience either. Day three: it's cleaned itself up and showing very attractively. Leave these for 3-5 more years, or decant well in advance.

Good wine, color slightly changing, took for Chinese Food which is not a great match.

Was brought as a gift by a guest and then the rabble got to it before I had a chance to put it away or even have a taste. No thoughts, no score!,

Nice bottle of wine. Loads of cherry on the nose. The red fruit theme continues on tasting with bright, cherry-berry flavors. Has good balance with a medium-long finish. Delightful.

Good value for the money but not memorable.

Dark purple - very big upon opening - much better on 2nd night - loads of berry & a bit of smoke & spice

This one needs some decanting before consuming. It wasn't drinkable for a good 2.5 hours of breathing in the bottle for me. After that point it became an ok middle of the week kind of wine.

Straight out of the bottle this had an incredible nose of black berry, plum, vanilla and cloves. I could have sniffed this wine all night. Unfortunately, the palate was not as interesting. Beautiful mouthfeel, sweet tannins that coated your tounge. But....just too "syrupy" for my taste. A really nice bottle for $15, though.

Dark brick red colour, very dense. Lots of cedary oak, dark berries and a nice herbacious lift on the nose, with some hints of menthol and mint. Soft supple palate with some red and blackberry fruit. Alluring freshness, medium length.

Wonderful. Velvety mouthfeel, lots of red cherry on the nose and the palate. Bought for $20, I would be happy to stock this.
