Deep red colour with a purple rim, and a peppermint-dominated, floral, cassis and pepper spice bouquet, quite unusual for shiraz. The mint and cassis aromas remind more of cabernet or merlot than shiraz. Good concentration and density, fleshiness and grip, but also elegance. The tannins are abundant and fine. Very complex. A lovely wine with serious cellaring potential - but it doesn't taste especially like shiraz and the mintiness is somewhat domineering. (Named after the Michael Nugent, original custodian of the property. 2535 bottles produced)

Big volume of perfume with mixed berries, briar, clove spice, vanilla-cedar hit. It smells kind of regal, if you get my drift. In the palate, expands with dark berries, slick oak character, licks of mocha and more clove. It’s not quite smooth but it feels that way, velvety with a little suede burr. Finishes long. It’s impressive, without fireworks though. Just doesn’t have an x-factor but feels very well put together.
