Note di degustazione
From Shiraz vines that are not yet old enough to go into Hill of Grace. Lovely gamey, beefy nose. Spice aplenty with savoury, dry fruit that has a touch of desiccation. Long, dark, dense and full of Aussie richness. (RH)

Drawn from 21-year-old vines propagated by cuttings from selected Hill of Grace vines, the 2012 Hill of Roses Shiraz aged in 71% new French oak hogsheads for 18 months. It exhibits great spice-and-herb complexity, ranging from clove and allspice to cola, sage and green peppercorn, then folds in hickory smoke and blackberry flavors. It's full-bodied but not as rich or dense as the Hill of Grace, and with its long, silky finish, it should mature earlier.
