Wine Spectator
Ripe and generous, teeming with spicy, peppery, slightly earthy blackberry, cocoa bean and tar flavors, finishing with fine texture and sharp focus. Shiraz, MourvÃ?¨dre and Grenache. Drink now through 2012. —Harvey Steiman, 91 points

Wine Advocate
Even more intense than the 2003, the 2002 Exile is a superb example of this fabulous vintage in Barossa. Black/purple-colored with sensational purity, a blackberry liqueur, cassis intensity, and beautifully integrated wood, alcohol, and tannin, this large yet brilliantly balanced effort can be drunk now, but promises to age effortlessly for 10-15 years. 95 points

The Colonial Estate Tasting Notes
Exile manifests itself as a rush of substance, power, flavour, and length, but with an underpinning definition and elegance.
