Medium purple-red; the bouquet is clean, moderately intense, with faint touches of green behind the sweet berry fruit, arguably adding complexity. The palate has unexpected richness and structure, with powerful yet ripe tannins; still very closed, and may develop exceptionally well with time. The culmination of two drought winters, record spring frosts, poor fruit set and a hot, dry summer, then the coldest March on record seemed a recipe for disaster. Once again a warm April came to the rescue with very ripe grapes being harvested. Yields down by 30 per cent to 40 per cent; peppercorn-sized grapes on the bunches.

Deep garnet-brick in color, the 1995 Hill of Grace has a slightly leathered, dried fruit nose that is a little tired though highlighted by notes of sandalwood, tree bark and earth, hints of leather and meat. There's a touch of barnyard on the palate and it is a bit past its peak, fading slightly with crisp acid and firm, chewy tannins through a long finish.
