使用90歲以上老藤Shiraz,有著優美如天鵝絨般柔軟的單寧,香氣環繞著優雅的紅櫻桃、石榴與薄荷香氣。酒體相當均衡和諧,結尾帶著些許的礦石香氣。
(適飲期:2015年)
 
 
Matured in 90% new, 10% used French (67%) and American (33%) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.
 
Deep crimson in colour with a purple hue. Powerful, ripe aromas of blackberry and plum with complexing hints of star anise, ferns, eucalypt and dark chocolate. The palate is an intense and concentrated blend of sweet, juicy plum pudding fruit and structured ripe tannin. With mouthfilling power, seamless texture and lingering finish the wine displays the hallmark characters of the Mount Edelstone vineyard in one of its greatest years.
 
 
Wine Advocate:97 points
The 2005 Mount Edelstone is a 100% Shiraz cuvee sourced from a vineyard planted in 1912. Yields are a meager 0.3 to 0.5 tons of fruit per acre. In combination with a near ideal growing season, this has resulted in a great edition of Mount Edelstone, one of South Australia’s iconic wines. Purple-colored, the nose gives up notes of mocha, chocolate, smoked meat, pepper, leather, blueberry, and blackberry. Elegant, already complex, layered, and thoroughly satisfying, this superb Shiraz has enough baby fat to be enjoyed now but will amply reward 5-7 years of cellaring. It will drink beautifully through 2025.

澳洲酒頂峰的巨人Hill of Grace,獲得澳洲葡萄酒大師James Halliday給予最高榮譽的『紅色五顆星』評價,澳洲大酒商Langtons給予最高『Exceptional』評價。

 

陳新民老師初版『稀世珍釀』一書僅提到Penfolds Grange,而再版中特別將『恩寵山』這支遺珠補上!可見陳老師給予兩者同等的肯定地位!而這支酒的中文名便是陳老師所命,品質非凡,業內膩稱『澳洲五大』之一,英國Decanter雜誌評比『今生必喝100支酒』。

 

釀造葡萄包含了1860年代所種植的『150年超級Shiraz老藤』,而大部分也是19世紀初期種植至今的百年老藤,展現最細膩優雅的澳洲Shiraz風範,淡定而溫柔的賢者。

葡萄品種:100% Shiraz

Henschke家族在澳洲釀酒歷史非常久遠,葡萄園中有極為少見的百年Shiraz老藤,自1860年代所栽種保存下來,更是躲過葡萄根瘤蚜蟲侵襲的寶貴樹株,留傳Shiraz原始DNA的豐富滋味;Hill of Grace這支酒在1956年就由當時的莊主Cyril Henschke釀造出來,但直到1978年Henschke家族第五代Stephen Henschke繼承後,大規模整頓Hill of Grace的葡萄園及釀酒設備,更使用『自然動力法』,才讓『恩寵山』這個名字登上世界舞台,與Penfolds Grange齊名,還是業內膩稱的『澳洲五大』之一!

 

澳洲大酒商Langtons給予的葡萄酒評鑑指標中共分五級,『恩寵山』獲得最高的『Exceptional』等級,而且全澳洲只有11支酒獲得這個殊榮!如果說法國波爾多值得投資的是五大酒莊,那麼這支Hill of Grace便是澳洲葡萄酒收藏家的不二選擇,更名列英國Decanter雜誌評比『今生必喝100支酒』(100 Wines to Try before you Die)。

 

珍貴的百年葡萄樹果串被摘採後,使用65%的新法國橡木桶陳年,成熟且輕盈無瑕的酒體由美味的黑胡椒、黑巧克力演變為集中的櫻桃、李子與堅果香氣,雪茄與香料盒的豐富尾韻源源不絕,酒體豐富多變,展現了百年老藤的極度細膩,酒液入喉後,味蕾上轉化停留的滋味相當悠長,最後帶著如奶油般細膩餘韻結尾,非常驚人且宏大的酒體結構!WA給予他2002至2005年份全都是98以上的超高評鑑!

 

澳洲葡萄酒大師James Halliday:

“無疑的,Henschke酒莊為澳洲最佳的中型酒莊~釀造的紅酒使用了百年老藤、低產量且高品質的葡萄,美妙敏銳的配合著小型橡木桶來釀造,Henschke的Hill of Grace早已與Penfolds的Grange並列為澳洲的代表性酒款。”

The 2005 Hill of Grace is 100% Shiraz sourced from vines ranging in age from 57 to 149 years with the original planting in 1860. It was aged in 100% new French and American oak for 21 months. It is opaque purple/black with a spectacular bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, truffle, lavender, anise, mulberry, and plum. Loaded on the palate and already complex, this sweetly-fruited wine is surprisingly elegant as well as powerful, the iron fist in the velvet glove. It has a finish lasting over 60 seconds and will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2035.

 

West Australian:97 points

Silky smooth and powerful, with multi-layers of complexity on the palate. The aromas are pure indulgence with a mix of primary plum fruits and blackberry nuances overlaid with spices,licorice and game. The palate has a soft, supple texture with fine, ripe, silky tannins. An effortlessly long palate that just floats on forever. Glorious. Good for 25 years in the cellars.

 

Wine 100:99 points

Arguably the most anticipated release in recent times, this doesn't disappoint. Fragrant rose petal and Turkish delight notes ahead of deep-seated spice and earthy vineyard nuances. Blackberry and Satsuma plum flavours on the palate, a sweep of dark-spiced oak, rippling long through the finish. Archetypally perfect, this is a liquid national treasure with 40+ glorious years ahead.

 

Wine Front(Campbell Mattinson):96 points

When the Hill of Grace vineyard was planted in the 1860s, Adelaide was only just over 20 years old – so when you drink Henschke Hill of Grace you are in some ways drinking the history of European settlement in Australia or at least in South Australia. This year’s release sure smells interesting. Oyster shells and baked bread, violets and crushed spice. It’s complex but not necessarily effusive, the need for extra time in the bottle paramount. The palate though is a boom. Glorious purity and condition. Plum jam, crushed violets, cedarwood and barrel smoke. Velvety texture. Like grabbing handfuls of fresh blueberries and boysenberries. Like drinking an Eden Valley summer. Tannin reaches nicely but not necessarily elaborately through the wine, and it finishes with an exotic aftertaste of soy and sesame. Hard to fault. Drink : 2015 – 2025
