A lavish mouthful of red cherry, blueberry, currant and sweet spice flavors that linger on the creamy-textured finish. Has great style and amazing balance, letting its flavors soar. Shiraz. Drink now through 2020. 12 cases imported.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of Australia's legendary icons is Henschke's Shiraz Hill of Grace. The 2002 is 100% Shiraz aged 18 months in 100% new French and American oak. It boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as extraordinary uplifted aromatics of acacia flowers, ground pepper, espresso roast, blackberries, cassis, chocolate, and smoke. This stacked and packed, full-bodied Shiraz possesses formidable concentration, moderately high but silky tannin, and a finish that exceeds one minute. A modern day legend, it should easily evolve for 20-25 years.

James Suckling
A large-framed wine, redolent of yesteryear with notes of tea tree, dried cherry, cough drop, mint, leather, star anise and dried porcini. A waft of charcuterie and Chinese incense defines the long finish, pushing its way across a scape of drying eucalyptus. A wine of immense personality and capacity to eke out further complexity, perhaps, with time.
