Geez mate,

Business must be good, being able to buy a case of it.

Me, I've never tasted it but one day I'm going to take Bev to a tasting night at the Penfolds Magill Winery and wear a big smile for a while:-).

Actually, I bought one bottle of Henschke Hill of Grace back in the 90's during a "Gourmet Weekend". Cost me $30 for it which was the most I'd ever payed for one bottle at that time. Bloody bugger in front of me bought a case.
91 vintage I think.

Bill

I'm diagonally parked in a parallel Universe!

Just checked the wine rack and the Hill is a 1989 so I must open it soon.
Also have a 1991 Cyril Henschke Cab/Sav.

These are the last two bottles of Henschke wines I possess. I used to make a point of buying a couple of bottles each year during the Gourmet Classic Weekends, back when I could justify this brand. Now, they have priced their grog beyond my willingness to buy it. Even the Keynton Estate is ridiculously priced.

Plenty of other good wines to choose from though.
