"The nose and the palate are totally aligned: red licorice, raspberries, crushed rocks, red velvet, sage, squid ink, aniseed/anise, quartz and brine. There's the telltale black tea and minerality of the Eden on show, too. This is a sensational wine. This is texturally svelte and seamless (the nod to red velvet above is a textural observation). I love it. If ever I was going to fall for this wine, it would be here, in this clear-spoken, gracefully enunciated 2018 vintage." - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

 

"First made in 2001, then and now still too young for inclusion in the Hill of Grace. The perfumed bouquet of cherries and blood plum leads into a palate that literally dances in the mouth, but does so with supreme elegance." - James Halliday

 

"Hill of Roses stands alone with its joyous, aromatic-led personality, its warmth wrapped in dark fruits, earth and woodsy spices, its balance and its length. To borrow from the maker, a "long, linear, cool line of tannin" makes for a relaxed and inviting wine." - Jeni Port, Wine Pilot

 

"Deep and full, bold and youthful red with a good purple tint, the bouquet is highly floral and multi-layered, lifted and aromatic, with traces of lavender and various fragrant herbs, including sage and marjoram, and a left-field note of nutmeg (from oak?). Background smoky char-oak and gunpowder traces. The wine is lusciously full and fine-boned in the mouth with sneaky depth and concentration. The texture is finely woven and beautifully harmonious." - Huon Hooke, Real Review

 

"Complex nose full of minty blackberries and blueberries. Spearmint, anise and licorice spices give a cool yet deep and "dark" tone to the nose. Almost rich, plush and pretty full but fresh on the palate, carried by svelte tannins that glide through to a super lengthy and nuanced finish." - Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com
