2018 Charles Melton Nine Popes Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre 750ml Helen & Joey Estate this wine exemplifies an elegantLovely deep colour. Nice bright crimson edge to the colour. Opens on nose with a delightful spicy licorice all sorts amalgam of sweet perfume and spice, although 50% new oak was used, it remains in the background as a support to the exotic aromatics.
