Bleasdale Second Innings Malbec 2014

15^½/20

Langhorne Creek, South Australia, AustraliaRarely seen as a sole grape in Australia, Bleasdale has been producing a Langhorne Creek Malbec since 1961. 15 percent whole berries, this soaked for 12 days on skins and matured for one year in French oak (ten percent new). Sweeter blackberry, cola, blue florals and plum feel pinched on the reedy palate. Tannins are mild and slightly powdery to a short, hot finish. Perhaps best left a blending grape in Oz, this vintage doesn't convince of malbec's suitability.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
