He is indeed naturally tanky. He has a very high base HP and can get even more with his Consume (should he get to consume an elemental monster). The only reason I can see not to classify Nunu as a tank/mage is because he has no hard CC, but I don't think that should be a problem. Galio's only hard CC is his ultimate and he is a tank/mage.

Tank because Nunu has CC, has utility, has disruption both single-target and AoE (atk and MS slow in one ability). Mage because Nunu is very focused on casting spells and he is an AP champion.
