Kilikanoon Prodigal 2001 Grenache Aug 03 sells for $25 at CD. The bouquet of wine is locked up tight and didn’t show much at all. Deep strong fruit provides the stuffing for this full bodied wine that is well supported by smooth unobtrusive tannins and balanced acid. The wine has a great flavour profile (for a Grenache) with no lolly characteristics, far from it; the flavours are savoury plum, chocolate, cherry and long lingering liquorice. This is a very good Grenache and one of the few I could recommend buying. The consistency is supple, structure almost seamless and the complexity agreeable but harmonious. Rated as Recommended with *** for value it should drink well over the next four years and I preferred it to the GSM.
