Nugan Alfredo Dried Grape Shiraz 2012

South Eastern Australia, AustraliaMaybe Australia should dry its grapes if that makes any sense. Expect a powerful minty spicy nose of blackcurrant fruit with a touch of cedar. There's a dryness that appeals before the blockbuster fruit and oak assault your palate. The finish is dense rich long and war, with plenty of alcohol swirling about. There's a market for this style and frankly this is pretty well done. Not quite Amarone but then neither is the price.Tasted: 23 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
