From a single vineyard at Frankland River, the thirty-year-old Powder Bark Vineyard, the wine sees a year in a mix of new and older French oak puncheons. The colour is an opaque maroon while the nose exhibits notes of plums, bay leaves, black fruits, warm earth, cloves, aniseed, coffee grinds and road dust. Really lifts on the palate with the wine finely balanced and the structure is seamless, right through to its sleek tannins. There is impressive length to it, as well. The palate sees the emergence of blackcurrants and plums. Drink over the next six to eight years, over which time one can confidently expect that the score will keep rising.
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.
