The 60th release of this famous wine. Many years down the track, expect this to sit amongst the greatest the vineyard has given us. This famous old vineyard in Eden Valley next to the wonderful and scenic Lutheran church, was planted back around 1860, with pre-phylloxera material brought out by a family ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki. The first vintage was 1958. Hill of Grace was not made in 1960, 1974, 2000 and 2011. If the pass mark is a perfect or near perfect score, this walks it in. There is some of that exuberance we saw in the Hill of Roses, but this is more serious, more intense, concentrated and complex. We have tobacco leaves, cassis (one note I made was that it was like an alcoholic cassis smoothie), sage, black fruits, dried herbs, aniseed, and a touch of forest floor. Knife-edge balance, incredible length, that creamy and seductive texture, silk tannins – this is an amazing wine which more than lives up to the hype. Well cellared examples should provide immense pleasure over the next forty to fifty years. 100.
