5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Medium-light brick-red colour: a sublime mature shiraz, mellow and softly textured, elegantly structured and medium bodied, the tannins having largely melted away. It's drinking superbly now but there's no point keeping it longer.

Deep garnet-brick colored, the 1992 Hill of Grace exudes aromas of dried mulberries, blackberry preserves, iron ore, menthol and lavender. Well-structured with medium-firm chewy tannins, crisp acid and muscular fruit, it has a long and earthy finish. It is mature and holding strong.

92 Points James Halliday
Deep red-purple; a multi-faceted bouquet with a hint of Rhône Valley gaminess running through plum, blackberry, mulberry, cedar, leaf and earth; the palate replicates all the flavours plus touches of cedar and cigar box. Despite all this, not quite in the Olympian class of the '90 and '91 vintages. Drink to 2010.
