  • Wine Advocate, May 2024, Score: 97

    The 2008 Hill of Grace Shiraz is just looking so svelte and fine. The wine is elegant and spicy and super fine, and it leads with fresh leather and star anise, bay leaf, tobacco, curry leaf, cocoa and peppercorns that all twist and swirl through the bouquet. In the mouth, the tannins have evolved to a state of pure repose—seamless and fine, they flow and carry the Satsuma plum fruit along with it. This 2008 makes a very strong case for cellaring your wine for some time prior to drinking it. If you have the means, I would recommend buying some of this vintage (maybe solo, maybe with friends) and drinking a bottle. Experience the evolution of tannin and fruit. It's a wonder. It's a lovely wine, re-released into the wild. Lucky us. This has decades to go. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under Vinolok. Drink 2024-2048.

  • Matthew Jukes, May 2024, Score: 19.5

    With trademark exoticism and deep violet florals, this is an elegant, spicy, superb wine with a calmness and luxuriousness that is already starting to assimilate. Long, layered and refined, this is a wonderfully refreshing wine; at 16 years old, it still looks bright and bold. Drink 2025-2040.

  • Jancis Robinson, March 2024, Score: 20

    Deep shaded dark ruby. Wonderfully intense and complex nose. This wine just wraps itself around you! (And I haven't even tasted it yet.) Intense cocktail of prunes and something floral. Really rich. Luscious palate of gorgeously ripe fruit, just the right level of refreshing acidity with mineral top notes. Extremely rewarding with many layers. Very long indeed. Drink: 2020 – 2040.
