Tasting Notes:

Ink like colour with purple edge. Alluring bouquet filled with liquorice, blackberry and dark plum fruit with layers of fennel spice and Smokey oak. Full bodied and highly concentrated fruit with a really plush texture. The fruit flavours of blackberry, dark plum all work within the framework, which is fleshy and opulent with a licorice character shining on the mid palate. There is a lovely spicy note along with subtle hint of fennel and oak. The tannins are velvety smooth which when allowed to open up and breathe illustrate the longevity possible with a long dark seductive finish which is all interwoven between a backbone of oak and tannin perfectly.

Technical:

The bulk of the vines are dry grown old vines, which are pruned severely and receive two runs of green harvesting finally producing one tonne to two tonnes per acre. Exile grapes are then hand picked and the grapes sorted. The wine is fermented in vats after extreme cold maceration. The wines have their malolactic in new French oak, and are thereafter in the same oak for 24 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration and then further aging in bottle.

Reviews:

The Colonial Estate Exile Barossa Valley Shiraz 2014 is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 54.

Rated 5 out of 5 by top buyer from Never disappoints Bought this wine many times over the years, great to drink now but if you can cellar a few bottles for a few years the rewards are great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Uncle Biscuits from A wine for the cellar Have bought some for cellaring and tasted some as well. This is a wine for people who love a balance of fruit and oak and is made to the french wine styling. Important to let it breathe for a while before drinking.
