Only pale to mid crimson in colour with a tawny edge at 26 years of age. Black and blue fruits with game and a coffee bean note. The medium bodied yet rich palate is savoury and earthy with blackberry and just so so silky with resolved tannins and low acid. Not sure that I agree totally with Bob Campbell MW’s description - “like getting into an old Jag on a hot day”, but I love the imagery and can see where he’s coming from. Jancis said “pure hedonism “ and gave it 19/20. The latest iteration of H of G (2017) is selling for around $950 a bottle in Brisbane. No doubt brilliant but too expensive for me. I remember paying $12.50 for the 1982 vintage on release. There is a certain H of G character that is recognisable over many vintages over the years. Must be one of the most unique Shiraz vineyards in the world with vines up to a 150 years old. A privilege to drink this wine and close to perfection with 98 points. — 3 years ago

Just stunning. Nose is full on Cote Blonde on beast mode. Meaty beyond belief. Abattoir vibes. Gorgeous violets and insane florals. Just a symphony. Wild mint, herbs and so much more. Juicy and structured and needs mega air but my god the tannins and so fine and so well knit. But also big and dominant. This will settle. It always does. I’ll be back. It’s settled. Nose is even meatier. Fruit on palate is darker and sweeter. Tannins melting into sweet fruit. — 2 months ago

Lively red apple, ripe pear, grapefruit and citrus zest, and subtle red berry notes, with a hint of toasted brioche. The fine mousses are quite vigorous in the bottle, leading to a refreshing, clean finish. Easy to enjoy. — 5 months ago
