A new Prince of Denmark. Hopefully, it has better luck than the last one. A fine Pinot from the Denmark region, which is worth pursuing. A bright purple/maroon hue. Spices, raspberries, dry herbs, red apples and a hint of mushrooms and animal hides. The fruit balances well with the oak, which is not intrusive showing excellent focus and impressive length, a slippery texture and silky tannins. There is also an enjoyable slight bitter almond note on the finish. Enjoy over the next four to six years.
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.
