Another superb Chianti from the exciting 2020 vintage, this is a vibrant dark red in colour, with a hint of orange on the rim. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, florals, cherries, florals, aniseed, cold tea and smoked meats. A wine of balance, length and grip, with the tannins fine-grained. A tight line of acidity ties the wine together and continues on the persistent finish. For enjoying over the next ten to twelve years. Under cork.
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.
