Score 97/100 · Drink 2017-2033, James Halliday, Jun 2017

Shiraz, grenache, mataro undergoing the most complex fermentation of all Charles Melton wines: hand-plunging, whole bunch fermentation, wild and cultured yeast, with a mix of single and co-fermentation, matured in French barriques (25% new) on lees for 28 months. A richly woven tapestry of spiced red and black fruits that stands apart from and above all but one or two Barossa Valley GSMs. It is wonderfully detailed and complex, yet achieves this with a lightness of foot and freshness of face.

Mostly Grenache, with some Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Warm and spicy on the palate, rich and fragrant with a welcome dose of tannic chew too. Fine, lifted fragrance on the finish. Convincing. (RH)
