Mid crimson in colour. Tarry savoury berry aromas. On the palate medium to full bodied with earth tar and liquorice ~ typical of mature Heathcote. Tannins resolved. The 15.5%ABV largely hidden. Amazing intensity and flavour considering its age - powerful in fact - also some sweetness. Jasper Hill largely contributed to putting Heathcote on the map.

Aug 10th, 2019Deep crimson with tawny rim developing. Earthy mineral masculine and muscular. Concentrated and long. Liquorice and Black Cherry. Sweetness. At its peak but will last at least another 5 years to reach 20. Heathcote at its best.
