In 1824, aged nine, Bleasdale founder Frank Potts joined the British Royal Navy as one of its dutiful powder monkeys. This wine celebrates the adventures of a young Frank Potts. As you can imagine given that this is their flagship shiraz it will have all intensity, power and depth befitting a wine of its station from dense ripe blackberry and rich plum to liquorice and spice balanced by bitter chocolate and savoury tannin that run the length of the palate is definitely an adventure worth of Frank’s own odyssey.
