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.
