Thursday, October 25, 2007 - Beautiful bottle of wine. This was only 14% alcohol, and a more subdued, less extracted than some of the other Aussi blockbusters. It was 13 years old, and had more life in it yet - I would say another 4/5 years. What it gave up in extraction, it gained in complexity and balance and with the Heathcote gamey, funky taste. It was bright, and a mid-weight, with light tobacco, soy and the deep blackberry fruit - more fresh fruit than stewed. Jasper Hill is a benchmark wine, not gaining the really high Parker scores, but consistently excellent.
