  Chalk, blackberry, cola, and coffee. Fruit still very much alive, over a base of tertiary splintery oak. Deep and dark, but still juicy and vibrant after 27 years. At what I feel is a long peak. (94 Excellent wine)

  Decanted 1.5 hours. At 20 years old, it shows its age with a transparent, rusty color and mature berry fruit nose. There's a lot of woodspice and white pepper on the nose, leading into subtle, seductive dark red berry aromas and some dark roasted coffee bean. Initially lacking palate expression, more decanting coaxes out sweet, slightly stewed dark berry flavors. Drink now-2017.

  Lovely bottle of Jasper Hill Shiraz. One too seek out. The tannins fully integrated the wine displaying primary and seconday characters, clearly still on the ascendancy - likely to be at its optimum in 3-5 years.

  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.

  Wet year. Earthy, Vegemite notes on the nose. Very smooth, but lacks a presence of the other wines in this set. A light wine in keeping with the wet year.
