Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2004 750ml

100% shiraz from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early settlers in the mid-1800s and grown on the Hill of Grace vineyard in the Eden Valley wine region.

Crimson in colour with deep red hues. Concentrated aromas of blue and black berry fruits, dark plum and exotic five spice exude from the glass, while more subtle and classic nuances of black pepper, sage and chicory allure and entice. The palate is rich, lush and elegantly structured with layers of texture and beautifully balanced flavours of blue and black fruits, dried herbs and charcuterie. Fine velvety tannins and a savoury mid-palate provide incredible length and depth.

"This is a great Henschke Hill of Grace. Pure, flashy, complex and long. Lots of floral flavour, blueberried and smooth. To-die-for tannin structure. To-die-for length. Mint, cedarwood, game, chalk and violets all make appearances. A great Eden Valley red, worthy of the name and of the reputation. For some reason I want to drink this one younger. A beautiful, complex, vital wine.

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - 95 Points

The flagship 2004 Hill of Grace (100% Shiraz) was sourced from vines ranging in age from 56 to 148 years. It spent 18 months in 100% new French oak. Purple-colored, it reveals a breathtaking aromatic array of violets, pepper, leather, smoked meat, game, blueberry compote, and black cherry. It splendidly combines elegance with power in a spicy, savory amalgam along with that extra dimension that can only be provided by old vines and a great site.
