Winelovers in Australia should be making certain that their cellars are jam packed with the wines from Margaret River from this wonderful vintage, especially when they are such cracking value. After fermentation, the wine was racked to French oak barriques. Deep red with a russet rim, the quality of the year does shine through here. On the nose, we have notes of graphite, spices, blackberries, chocolate, tobacco leaves and cassis. There is good intensity and balance here, with focus and energy. Still youthful with room to improve, enjoy for the next ten to twelve 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.
