September 22, 2023 - After reading Halliday’s reviews, I was a bit concerned but reality is that this wine was delicious, smooth and disappeared alarmingly quickly from our glasses. I am a bit worried that the changing of quard at Halliday’s has not been smooth and that some wines have been unfairly treated.

May 5, 2022 - No decant. It is deep red in colour. This is typical Grenache and Syrah style. Spicy with sweet red fruit and floral aromas.
Copy from internet:
Nine Popes is Charles Melton`s nod to the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is as rich, powerful and beautifully balanced as the best examples from France, with an excellent track record for ageing particularly well. The 2016 is a blend of 50% Grenache, 48% Syrah and 2% Mataro. -

February 11, 2021 - Intense and quite a bit of oak. Softened and was a little more balanced after time in glass.

May 20, 2019 - The 2016 is a beauty, showing a complex aroma of blood plum, black cherry, brown spices and earth. It is rich and juicy, slowly building through the palate and fanning out on the finish.
