Deep garnet-brick in color, the 2003 Hill of Grace has notes of wild blueberries and blackberries marked by a gentle undercurrent of sage, pepper and exotic spices and a touch of cedar. Full-bodied and densely packed with rich fruit, it has medium-firm, grainy tannins and a fresh acid line throughout the long finish. Approachable now, it will drink to 2025+.

Rich, polished and absolutely seamless, this is harmonious and expressive, with tremendous depth. Offers licorice-scented blackberry, black cherry, pomegranate and dusky spices in such a cohesive package that it's hard to pick them out. Hints of mineral and spice add nuance to the finish. Will only get better with cellaring. Not imported into the U.S. Best from 2010 through 2028.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Eden Valley Select to Add
