Noon, Shiraz Reserve Langhorne Creek Brut Zero graphite and tobaccoEven more concentrated than the impressive 2014, the 2015 Shiraz Reserve is almost painfully intensein a good sense. Dark berries, culinary herbs and roasted meat notes combine in a mouthwatering nose, which leads into a dense, creamy textured palate. While most Noon wines can be drunk on release (as can this one, albeit in a soft core S&M sort of way), I would suggest holding this one for a couple of years and drinking it over the next decade.
