Note di degustazione
The 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace is beautifully complete. The youthful black cherry, potpourri and dried sage aromas are focused, and a spicy overlay gently lifts the lovely fruit purity. The palate combines perfectly ripened structural tannins and embryonic dark berry fruit layers, which drive the never-ending finish. Simply superb, with decades to run.

Unlike 1990, this vintage was characterised by a hot summer and low yields . Will always live in the shadow of the great 1990, which is a pity in a way because this is also an outstanding wine in a beautiful place right now: intense, sinewy, bold dark fruit, very fine youthful tannin, great density, perhaps (and I’m quibbling) lacks the drive and harmony of the 1990.

Deep brown-brick in color, the 1991 Hill of Grace offers intensely scented notes of warm black fruits, Chinese dried plums, dark chocolate-covered cherries and licorice. It is very pure, full-bodied and rich in the mouth, with profound and seductive flavors, a great backbone of crisp acid and firm, finely-grained tannins through the long finish. It is mature now but no rush to drink. Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993
Dark crimson with some blackish hues. Rich start but very lovely texture. Spice and some quite dry tannins but wonderfully mellow overall. So complete. A real pleasure. (JR)
