Medium brick-brown in color, the 1983 Hill of Grace gives aromas that are a bit horsey / barnyard with a pleasant muskiness over an appealing core of dried fruits and preserved meat. Medium-bodied and a bit bony / hard in the mouth, it has firm acid and a medium level of chewy tannins through the long finish. It is mature.
This wine has a distinctive smoky, tarry character that runs through the aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied with high extract and ample tannins and very ripe, plummy, chocolately Cabernet fruit that has some heat on the finish.
