Note di degustazione
The 2006 Shiraz Hill of Grace is still young and feels far from its peak. It already displays significant volume and rich aromas of primary mulberry, blackberry, clove and cedar in a riper frame that have not yet been fleshed out. The palate also remains a little closed with spicy dark berry fruits wound up in mouthcoating tannins. However, the length and balance are immaculate, suggesting it just needs time.

Like the 2005, this has lots of lifted youthful, energetic black fruit, but with more grip and tannic engagement: the tannins are ‘sticky’ and malleable as they move across the tongue. (MA)
Dark ruby. Balsam and warmth with great balance of fully ripe fruit and impressive subtlety. This is hand-crafted South Australian Shiraz at its finest. Just a tad more savour, development and delicacy than the 2005 perhaps? (JR)
Inky purple. Intensely perfumed aromas of cassis, blueberry, violet and fruitcake, with smoke and Indian spice notes adding complexity. Sweet and penetrating, offering an array of dark fruit and floral flavors that are lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity. Dusty tannins come on late and are no match for this wine's vibrant, deeply pitched fruit, which clings on the finish with remarkable tenacity.
