A single vineyard McLaren Vale Cabernet from a fine vintage, the wine spent a year and a half maturing in French oak barrels. Deep magenta, everything about this immediately suggests a wine which is a little more savoury, and a little more complex on the nose than its sibling. We have aromas of tobacco leaves, blackberries, mulberries, warm earth, aniseed and graphite. This is well balanced with deftly handled oak and a creamy texture. A wine of medium to good length with very fine tannins, this has a full decade of providing pleasure ahead of it.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
