Henschke is one of the most revered family names in Australian winemaking and the Hill of Grace Shiraz is their flagship wine produced from a single 4-hectare vineyard planted in the 1860s in the Eden Valley.

The 2001 is a high-class release now approaching its peak drinking phase. Medium- to full-bodied, richly flavoured and silken in texture, this is a supremely satisfying yet unwaveringly elegant example of this Australian icon. Drink now and over the next 5 or so years.

94 Vinous
Dark ruby. Suave, complex aromas of blackcurrant, kirsch, licorice, mocha, toasty oak spices, cured meat and succulent herbs, with a hint of graphite. Lush and round, with deep, concentrated dark berry flavors accented by smoky, spicy oak, licorice candy and a suggestion of vanilla. This is surprisingly open and seamless, the gentle tannins absorbed by the sweet fruit and musky animal and herb flavors. The very long finish features penetrating blackberry and creme de cassis flavors, with suggestions of oak spice and smoked meat sneaking in late. Incidentally, this was the only Henschke wine I tasted this year bottled under cork. Josh Raynolds1st July 2006
