Henschke 'Hill of Grace' Shiraz 2007

The colour is relatively light, but the hue clear and youthful. The wine is by no means a blockbuster, and neatly side steps the tough tannin issue that dogged many red wines from the vintage. There is a profusion of red and black cherry and plum fruit flavours encircled by fine, gently savoury and ripe tannins. The overall balance is impeccable, as befits a wine of this stature. 96 points. Tasted 2021. – James Halliday.
