Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz

Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz is a bold, fruit-forward Australian red built for everyday enjoyment. It delivers ripe blackberry and plum with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and pepper from subtle oak. The tannins are smooth and the finish is spicy and persistent. A versatile match for grilled meats, pasta with tomato sauces, and hard cheeses. Best enjoyed in its youth.Tasting notes- Appearance: Deep ruby to inky red.- Nose: Ripe blackberry and plum; notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and pepper.- Palate: Juicy dark fruit core; cocoa and oak influence; medium-full body; smooth tannins; balanced acidity.- Finish: Long and spicy with lingering fruit and a touch of cocoa.- Pairing suggestions: Grilled steak, lamb chops, roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses.
