Extremely rich. Dry, med- acidity, full body, pronounced intensity and long finish. Aromas of pepper, eucalyptus, mint, lavender, black berry, cedar. Good balance. Not my style but technically a very good wine. Points based on the latter.

Black fruits and tar on the nose. Somewhat monolithic on the palate. Huge structure. Decanted for 2 hours. Tannins seemed to soften after another hour in the glass. I would wait another 3-5 years based on this bottle. Great potential!

Heavy crust, pours clear. Usual Jasper Hill nose of blackberry and musk. On the palate, more musk, with redcurrants, berries and some beef stock.

This is a touch over the hill. Starting to get into the stewed fruit aromas. Should have opened several years ago.
