Bleasdale 2012 Second Innings Malbec

Variety: Malbec
Region: Fleurieu, Langhorne Creek
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 13.5%
Colour: Violet
Bouquet: Ripe blueberries, hints of raspberry jubes and some cedar
Flavour: Actually plummy in taste with some savoury, bay leaf flavour and a nice, rounded finish.
Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: I ranked the only Australian contribution as third of four while the others ranked it last. Our range was not broad. I tasted the Bleasdale Malbec for the first time about four years ago.
