Exotically packaged, this is delicious drinking and cracking value. Apparently, all put together as a lovely option for a gift, but don’t be afraid to grab some for yourself. A dark maroon hue, the nose exhibits notes of coffee beans, mocha, cassis, chocolate, blackcurrants and soy. This is big, bold and beautifully Barossan. Seamless in structure, it offers a creamy texture, fine silky tannins, generous flavours and good length. Enjoy over the next six to eight years (if you don’t give it all away). Great value.
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.
