Exceptional vintage. Medium brick-red/tawny colour. Mellow aged meaty, charcuterie, roasting pan and malty aromas. Smooth and fleshy in the mouth with good depth and density, and also very good elegance. Fine and balanced, if not as detailed as some vintages. Fresh acidity cleans the aftertaste.

Medium brick in color, the 1982 Hill of Grace opens with aromas of game, dried cherries, plum preserves, sauteed herbs and dried rose buds. Medium-bodied with balanced, crisp acid and low to medium levels of chewy tannins, it is a little lacking in mid-palate before finishing with good length. It is mature.
