Yet another fine example of Shiraz from the Margaret River region, from yet another excellent vintage. Twelve months oak maturation, the fruit quality from this region in top years (and they have a lot of them) is such that it is almost impossible not to create something exciting and special. And that applies to Cabernet and Chardonnay, as well as Shiraz. A deep red/magenta hue, the aromas include licorice, soy, beefstock, dark berries and warm earth. Good focus and balance with satiny tannins. This is still very youthful, with very good length. Attractive now and for the next 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.
