[SOLD-OUT] Henschke Hill of Grace 1991 1500mL-Magnum

'Refined, if slightly varnishy red whose heady, spicy and gamey bouquest oozes with dark plums and cherries. Fine, velvety and long, it's a classy package.' - Jeremy Olive, OnWine.

 

'Other than the top cuvees of Penfolds' Grange, and the old vine Grenache and Astralis from Clarendon Hills, no Australian wines are richer than these offerings from Henschke - a winery that gets my nod as one of Australia's two or three finest producers. Each of these wines coats the mouth with glorious levels of jammy fruit, extract, glycerin, and silky tannin. They are all dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, and capable of lasting at least a decade, and in the case of the 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace, possibly 20+ years. The 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace Keyneton Vineyard is the most backward of the Henschke wines, with an earthy minerality, and explosive black fruits the likes of which are often seen in northern Rhone Valley wines made from ancient vines. This huge, broodingly backward, muscular, brawny, immensely concentrated yet formidably endowed wine requires another 4-5 years of cellaring it should keep for 15-20 years. These are awesome examples of what Australia is capable of producing.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
