Jasper Hill Emily's Paddock Shiraz 2022
DOZEN: $1,566.00 or $130.50 each
…will, I think, prove to be the better of the two single-vineyard Jasper Hill shirazes in the long run, but it is quite closed and tightly wound at the moment. There are some pretty spicy aromas, and a touch of dried herb (there are cabernet franc vines planted alongside the shiraz in Emily's Paddock), but it's quite sinewy and restrained…MAX ALLEN
Often my favorite wine among this stable, yet arguably the most Australian, too. Mint, tea tree, clove, blackcurrant, baking spice, darker fruits, Darjeeling, anise and sassafras. Yet it is the minty edges that service levity, lift and takeoff. Some evergreen freshness, amidst the morass of extract and firmly clenched tannins, so to speak. Tannins that may be foreboding in their youth, but have chew and refined noblesse about them. Wonderful tannins! This is a powerful armchair wine, of a sophisticated allure as much as a nostalgic one. Best from 2028. NED GOODWIN
