Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2017

Muscular with great vitality and sensuality, Hill of Grace 2017 combines gravitas with grace. Supple swathes of fruit - blackberry with blueberry and red cherry - come scented with china ink, tinder bush, black pepper, star anise, wattleseed, tea leaf and baking spices. Tobacco pouch, mulch and subtle game undertones strike a savoury note. Rafts of seamless, spicy tannins build and buoy layers of flavour. Terrific authority, strength, complexity and length. Drinking window: 2023-2047. Part of Henschke 2017 single-site Shiraz releases. Score - 99. (Sarah Ahmed, decanter.com, March 29, 2022) 750 mL bottle
