This wine has acidity

creamy flavors of herbal orchard fruits and hazelnut carrying through a very long

While it may lack some of the classicism of the 1991 Reserve

1998 Henschke "Hill of Grace" Shiraz Eden Valley South Australia This wine has acidityHill of Grace has a smell that reminds me of my grandmothers handbag cloth, with a wooden handle, says Stephen Henschke. Strange but understandable. I thought it smelled like an odd but nice mix of green olive, eucalyptus and eggroll wrapper. Its a beautiful wine, with a base of red plums on the palate, dusted with mulling spices. Finishes with a flourish of clay and chalk.
