Henschke Hill of Grace Eden Valley Shiraz 2018 14.5% (Halliday 99 points) SINGLE BOTTLE

99 points James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

An exceptional vintage of this Shiraz, which is arguably Australia's finest.

Deep ruby with ruby hues. Ethereal and exotic aromas of blackberry and blood plum with five-spice, star anise, clove, fennel seed, cinnamon and black pepper, and more subtle hints of bay leaf and crushed flowering herbs. The palate is plush, deep, complex and powerful, with a core of supple blackberry and blueberry fruit laden with spice and pepper, and beautifully balanced by fine acidity resolving into a long and elegant finish of rolling, velvety tannins.
