From a superb vintage in the region, this shows us just how far Village Burgundy has come in recent years. Delicious drinking. A gleaming garnet red. An attractive, and very much Burgundian nose here, with notes of undergrowth, red fruits, dried herbs, a little warm earth, florals and raspberries. Seamless on the palate, there is good focus and direction throughout. Tight acidity, sleek tannins, this is a lovely Village Burgundy of medium length. Should continue to provide pleasure for the next six to eight years.
Available nowhere else on the planet other than the Reserve Cellar.
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.
