1991 Henschke 'Hill of Grace' Shiraz - Museum Collection
97 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown
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
19/20 points, Jancis Robinson
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.
94 points, James Halliday
Medium to full red-purple, with abundant, smooth and sweet dark cherry fruit aromas; the oak is subtle but there is some lift. In the mouth a potent wine with some striking similarities to Grange Hermitage, not the least being the degree of lift, and also the tremendous length on the palate. Strikingly different from the 90, but may simply be the impact of the ripe year.
