2024 Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc Magnum (1500ml)

Other Reviews…..
One of the enduring, great heroines of the Heathcote wine region; a wine significant in history and beautifully defining the concept of terroir. Inky dark purple and dense in hue – a Heathcote trademark. Taut and focused, far more than its '24 sibling; Emily isn't going anywhere too soon. Rather, it's got time on its vinous mind. Boasts a core of tightly coiled black and blue fruits, blackstrap licorice, vanilla pod, dusty cacao, allspice, crushed fennel seeds and red earth. There's an energy brewing – you can feel it. Tannins are ripe, in control and all set. All it needs now is time. Drink by 2042.

Jeni Port – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

Complex and layered, with aromas of black and blue fruits, spices, flowers, cured meats, graphite and licorice. The palate is vibrant and textural, with a firmly framed yet silken structure and a fine backbone of acidity. This wine, alongside the Georgia’s Paddock bottling, is outstanding and among the best I’ve tasted in recent times. Having tried every vintage back to 1988, this stands as one of the very best. Drink or hold.
