$799. 00

$9588.00 Dozen
Closure: Cork

Tasted 15/09/1999: Another exceptional wine! Deep opaque crimson colour. The nose is almost perfumed, with its scented aromas of violets, blackberries and confectionary spice. Excellent mouthfilling palate flavour - wonderful ripe fruit. Ripe plum and blackberry flavours are to the forefront, enhanced by spice, pepper and liquorice background flavour. Fine, dry, lingering tannins and very long liquorice, blackberry spice aftertaste.
Cellar 10-15 years.

Other Reviews....
Deep brick-colored, the 1994 Hill of Grace offers notes of stewed plums, dried berries and baking spices with nuances of aniseed, vanilla and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, it has great concentration and structure in the mouth, with crisp acid plus firm, grainy tannins, and is packed with layered, dried berry and spice flavors before finishing long with tons of remaining fruit. This wine still has many years to go. Drink it now to 2030+.
