Henschke Hill of Roses Shiraz 2017

JAMES HALLIDAY 97 POINTS!

 

"When the 28-year-old vines mature further, this two-barrel, single-plot rarity from older cuttings is destined for Hill of Grace. From the same site, it has familial flavours of darker berry and currant, tobacco pouch, tea leaf and liquorice, but different energy and flow. Undulating powdery tannins contrast with Hill of Grace’s seamless, spicier tannins from Centenary and Ancestor vines. Summer truffle and smoky black garlic purée notes bring an umami depth of flavour to this polished Shiraz." - Sarah Ahmed, Decanter

 

"Medium garnet with garnet hues. Perfumed aromas of garden florals, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry compote and red currant, supported by musk, star anise and crushed herbs, with hints of violet and cedar. A concentrated core of plush red plum and raspberry on the palate, layered with blackberry, blueberry, anise, musk and black pepper. Textural, mature, velvety tannins carry an elegantly long finish." - Henschke
