Cherries and blackberries on the nose with a hit of mustiness and fresh flowers. This is a powerful beauty, true to its name of Black Jasper. She starts with luscious red fruits, moving to dried prunes, raisins, and leather. It develops a further mustiness as it sits on the mid-palate, chewy and reminiscent of autumn leaves decaying. As the tannins show up late to end the party, you’re left with a faint history of tart strawberries. Just a gorgeous wine.
