Henschke 2015 Hill of Grace Shiraz (Eden Valley)

From a highly lauded vintage, this offers layers of flavor, from pure, juicy blueberry and plum fruit to fistfuls of rose and violet petals to cocoa powder, crushed stones and a savory, slightly meaty streak. It's slinky and sexy, with ultrafine, filigree tannins that sink luxuriously into the wine. The oak is present but should fade into the background soon enough. Whether this will have the longevity of other, more tightly wound Hill of Grace vintages is up for debate. For now, though, it's one hell of a treat. Christina Pickard
