It has been a long time since I drank any wine from Noon, the cult producer from McLaren Vale which shot to fame in the Parker years. Has the style changed since then?
The 2015 Noon Reserve Shiraz does not indicate a change. The blackberry, dark plum, and charred meat flavours are concentrated and ripe. This is a powerful wine, but it also delivers quite an elegant mouthfeel. The gritty tannins lead to a long, but slightly unbalanced and alcoholic (15.5%) finish. Parker lives on!
Score: 94/0
