Deep brown-brick in colour, 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 flavours, a great backbone of crisp acid and firm, finely-grained tannins through the long finish. It is mature now but no rush to drink.  97 points, The Wine Advocate (2013).

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. Drink to 2040.  19/20 points, jancisrobinson.com (2013).

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.  Wine Companion (1995).
