This youthful 2023 ‘Emily’ blend from Woodlands, typically a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot composition, is expected to present a vibrant bouquet of dark fruits such as cassis, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, complemented by subtle hints of red cherry. Underlying notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and fine herbal nuances (like bay leaf or mint) typical of Margaret River Cabernet may emerge. On the palate, it will likely be medium to full-bodied with a firm, structured tannin profile balanced by bright, refreshing acidity. The fruit flavors will echo the nose, potentially evolving with traces of dark chocolate or mocha from judicious oak aging. The finish should be long, savory, and indicative of its aging potential.
