Last time I enjoyed this wine was 2013. Time has been kind.
My younger palate gave it 98points.
Although fair, its closer to 94.
Fully resolved and a pleasure to savour.

This may be a different wine but it indicates it is Bleasdale Frank Potts ( from the Langhorne Creek GI) Bordeaux style blend leads with Cabernet Sauvignon -61% - Malbec 18% Merlot 9% Petit Verdot 8 % and Cabernet Franc 4% - has lots of currants aromatically with a fresh Band-aid kind of aroma in the mouth the fresh band- aid quality came to the forefront little hard as far as tannins go

Such an under rated Wine. Plush fruit, impeccable balance, and seamless oak. Attractive sweet tannin and fruit sit so harmoniously. This was seriously delicious wine.

Complex aroma, straw and earthy flavor. Robust structure. A bit acidic @1590, 1271, 181029

This 2008 vintage have more Malbec in its mix compared to previous vintages that had more merlot. Give it a good balance wth the majority of grape being the cab Sab.. It is def a undervalued wine - can highly recommend... Worked well to drink on its own wth a few nibbles or wth a bbq

Good but bit watery compared to what I'd have preferred.

Needs more time in a bottle. Much better after a decant. Good fruit.
