Medium brick color with an amber rim, the 1967 Hill of Grace opens with a slightly musty nose over notes of preserved walnuts, smoked meat, dusty earth and licorice. It's a bit of a beast in the mouth with a full-bodied frame laden with tons of earthy, savory flavors and structured by crisp acid and a medium level of chewy tannins. The finish is long with a somewhat pleasantly bitter, burnt coffee edge. It is mature.
