Score 94/100 · Drink 2005-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 2005

The 2003 Exile boasts a saturated ruby/purple hue along with a restrained perfume revealing hints of truffles, blackberry liqueur, smoke, and licorice. A gorgeously opulent mouthfeel with layers of fruit, sensational ripeness (not over ripeness), impressive purity, and a long, layered finish result in a riveting example of old vine Barossa fruit. Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years. Importer: Commonwealth Wines & Spirits, Mansfield, MA; tel. (508) 261-9300

Dark ruby. Musky blackberry, blackcurrant, dark cherry, bitter chocolate and smoked meat on the nose. Big, round, ripe, extracted flavors of cherry, cassis, espresso, bacon and candied violet. The rich, dense finish features big, powerful tannins and sweet, viscous berry tones.
