   Paddock of Emily seems to take on more new oak, with a same winemaking process as Georgia�s, though there is 3% cabernet franc in the mix, co-fermented. The difference is pretty much one kilometre, with slight variation in Cambrian soil type. �Emily�s tends to have a mint or eucalyptus character, or spice, or something, but a light distinction�. Dark fruits, slippery, unctuous texture, more sinew to tannins through the finish. Perfume of dark berries, blackberry, faint fennel, choc mint, the whiff of wood spice and a general sense of moody, dark fruit. The palate is strong, lush, drives intensity and vigour, bound up and ready for cellar time. Superb wine.

   (Comments on 2016): Pencil shavings, herbal-floral notes and plenty of bright fruit spark the nose of the 2016 Emily's Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc. Full-bodied and richly textured, it's a creamy, supple, tannic cocktail of blueberry, plum and raspberry fruit layered over deep, earthy notes of tapenade and espresso. Despite its hefty alcohol (labeled at 15.5%), there's no discernible heat, just a big, sexy beast that deserves some time in the cellar.
