Exceptional vintage. Medium to full red/brick-red colour. Superbly complex bouquet, deep and youthful, bright and definite. Rich, quite dense palate. Very good intensity and flavour depth. Fine but evident tannins. Long, long carry. Impressive wine still on the ascendant.

Medium brick in color, the 1990 Hill of Grace has a very pretty core of cherry cordial, violets, dried roses, cinnamon stick, anise and a whiff of pepper. Medium-bodied, it has great generosity in the mouth balanced by a nice acid line and a medium level of velvety tannins through the long finish. This one still has loads of life and should easily drink through 2025+.
