Mattinson review of Bleasdale Block 99 Malbec 2022.

Bleasdale Block 99 Malbec 2022
$16, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Langhorne Creek.

Bleasdale, Langhorne Creek and the Malbec grape. What an amazing combination. This wine (exclusive to Aldi) is far better than its $16 asking price. It’s a wine of real flavour and genuine character. It has personality, It tastes of leather, black cherry, plum, cola and dried flowers and herbs. It would be great with a steak but then, it has the body and richness to drinking well on its own, on the couch. Value rating here is high.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
