2003 Katnook Estate Prodigy Shiraz (cork), Coonawarra

Wayne Stehbens, Senior Winemaker:

Deep plum with crimson and purple hues. Nose :: A rich and complex array of fruit, oak and subtle maturation aromas. Attractive raspberry and plum fruit with subtle liquorice, vanilla and light toast adding complexity to the fruit aromas. Palate :: A richly layered palate structure with generous fruit, oak and maturation flavours seamlessly combined. Raspberry and plum fruit with sweet spices of liquorice and light pepper are a feature. Subtle oak with fine lingering tannins are in harmony with the well-rounded palate structure.

94 pts – J. Halliday

An aromatic, cedary, spicy bouquet, then an intense and long palate, showing extended maturation in French and American oak; typical Prodigy style.
