      Stephen Henscke regards the 2002 vintage as a 'world of its own,' likening it to the cool year of 1959. It produced a remarkably concentrated Hill of Grace Shiraz. Smooth, big, and luxurious. With hints of coffee, port, leathery characters. Integrated vanilla and cedar secondary notes. Dark fruits, chalky tannins persistent through to its long finish.

      Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 2002

      Deep garnet in colour, the 2002 Hill of Grace has an entrancing nose with profound aromas of warm black cherries, crushed blackberries and mulberries plus a touch of wild blueberries and hints of allspice, violets and toast. It is full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, and yet it has lovely poise with a crisp acid line and a medium to firm level of fine-grained tannins plus great length. Delicious now, it will reward the patient and should drink to 2040+.

      — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate, 98 points

      Holding its hue well; fragrant black fruits with touches of liquorice and spice run through the bouquet, with oak in the background. The medium-bodied palate is feline and focused; very long, finishing with exceptionally fine-grained tannins. Harmonious and elegant, there is no intrusion whatsoever from the alcohol; effortless power. While retail prices always have a degree of elasticity, this wine has overtaken the price of the 02 Penfolds Grange, released at the same time.
