Katnook Prodigy Shiraz 2022

A finely crafted Shiraz from Coonawarra, from an excellent vintage. The wine spent fifteen months maturing in French oak. Deep maroon hue, the nose reveals aromas of chocolate, dried herbs, cassis, a mix of blackberries and blueberries and there are notes of freshly unearthed beetroot. There are still lashings of quality oak evident, but integration is proceeding well. Well balanced with juicy acidity, but it is quite intense and very long. There is a hint of warm red earth on the palate. Finishes with fine, if slightly furry tannins. A fifteen year proposition and seriously impressive.
