"Hill of Grace’s innate complexity and long, detailed tannin quality is a hallmark of this wine year in, year out, and the 2016 certainly possesses great length and concentration. The intensity of flavors framed in fine yet strikingly linear tannin equates to a very composed wine with contained power. The balance is pitch perfect. It is a vintage of extreme pedigree."

"There's a certain amount of hype surrounding the release of Henschke’s revered Hill of Grace. For collectors and wine aficionados, anyway. The fuss is merited. This is the 59th vintage (55th release) and buzzes with energy. The nose is fresh, fragrant, and beckons... "drink me". Make like Alice and oblige, tumbling through an Eden Valley Wonderland of plush dark fruit and playful red berries. Such elegance. It is a deep and meaningful in a glass."

"This is the embodiment of elegance, sweeping you through its colour (bright, not dense), bouquet (raspberry, plum and wild blackberry) and palate (a bowl of sombre fruit) held in the arms of tannins with no chance of fading in the next 30 years."
