4/25/2024 - Duncan wrote: 88 pointsA relief: a good condition bottle after the faulty 2020 I had recently. Vibrant mid-purple, not opaque. On the nose, plums and cherries and a good dose of sweet vanilla. The palate is surprising: sweet fruit and vanilla, yes, but unusually high acidity. (The 2020 had that too, as well as secondary fermentation and possibly brett.) I've never had an Aussie Shiraz that is so 'bright.' I think the winemaker just about gets away with it, but it's right on the edge of being out of balance. The relatively high alcohol adds to the wine's assertive attack. The fruit length is short, but the acid tingles on my tongue for quite some time. 14.5%, screwcap. |

4/4/2024 - Duncan wrote: flawedAttractive deep purple colour. Not much nose, but an immediate fizz was audible as I leant towards the glass. This disappeared after a minute or less, but whatever was causing it has also caused the wine to be distinctly acidic. There is ripe fruit there, but its way in the background behind tongue-tingling acidity. Freshness is great, but this doesn't feel right to me - it's way out of balance. And is there a slightly unpleasant aroma creeping out after a few minutes in the glass? Something farmyardy... I can't believe they wanted their wine to make this impression. With that in mind, I'm marking it as flawed, otherwise it would get a very low score - much lower than others have awarded it in other vintages. Screwcap, 14%. |

12/8/2023 - Henman Likes this wine: 89 pointsDecanted for more than one hour. Ripe dark fruit with a small pungent aspect on the nose. Full bodied, robust and supple, delivering ripe sweetish dark fruit with good tannic bite and firm acidity. Felt still very youthful. The firm acidity is balancing well the jammy fruit. Very good. |

9/6/2023 - graemeg wrote: NRNobleRottersSydney - Grenache Sth Aust (Fix, St James, Sydney): {375ml, screwcap, 11%} [Stephen] Steely sort or apricot and nougat nose. Tangy citrus palate, with plenty of botrytis. Still offers enough acidity for freshness, although the palate didn’t quite match the interest of the nose. Medium weight, medium-sweet, just finishes a little bit short. But still tidy and satisfying. |

3/18/2023 - sjw_11 wrote: 87 pointsI am not that familiar with Nugan and I guess I had in mind they were more a quantity than a quality producer, but my wife brought this back from Oz as a random Dan Murphy selection to try and it was fairly decent. Red and dark fruit driven, quite full bodied but not overly ripe. Certainly an Aussie Cabernet. Lacks a little bit of depth, and I am not sure this is one for long aging. |

Deze Shiraz druiven zijn van de allerbeste kwaliteit van eigen wijngaarden van Nugan Estate. Voor de gisting wordt een gedeelte van de druiven ingedroogd en daarna werd de wijn 12 maanden gerijpt in Franse en Amerikaans eiken. |
