Score 93/100 · Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Apr 2013

Deep brown in color, the 1987 Hill of Grace displays evolved fruit on the nose amid leather and dusty earth notes with some game and sandalwood hints plus a whiff of dried herbs. There is a lot going on the palate, with plenty of savory and meaty flavors to fill the mouth. It is structured by a medium-firm level of chewy tannins and bright acid before finishing long, with a pleasant herbal lift. It is mature. Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993

Cool. Great for Riesling. Medium intensity of ruby colour. Low key rose petal notes. Very elegant indeed. Mellifluous. So different from the South Australian Shiraz norm! Long and salty and great freshness, class and persistence. Slinky. This one wears couture. Audrey Hepburn? (JR)

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2003, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2003

Still quite blackish but lots of evolution at the rim. Bloody, rusty nails and lots of evolution on the nose. Sweet, hedonistic, fully evolved, almost floral. Good acidity and no tannin. Like a fully mature Côte Rôtie. (JR)
