Wine Companion tasting note:

This is a step up of intensity of fruit, forcefully reflective of the finest parcels across the estate's holdings. This bottling boasts a more velvety, plush velour than the entry-level sibling, along with palpable creamy vanillin oak pillars following 24 months in a combination of new and used French oak. Again, despite the torrid challenges of such a warm vintage, there is nothing drying about these tannins. There is gravitas and flow, flecked with licorice and a hint of mint. The ripe tannins are soaked in coffee liqueur.

    Not a deal unless you reveal the actual wine.

    You can get hundreds of secret deals with similar 'savings' from dozens of online wine merchants every day. It's only even possibly a bargain if you know what it is, and even then most are not that good.

    Hi guys,
    It is a labelled product.
    Here is some more info about the winery from James Halliday Wine Companion:
    This venture began with the acquisition of the Springwood Vineyard in the Armagh Valley district of the Clare Valley. The 10ha vineyard was planted between 1996 and 2000, shiraz by some distance the most important of the varieties. Nick understood the proud history of the vineyard, which for a number of years supplied Leasingham with all of its grapes. He appointed O'Leary Walker as contract winemaker, an astute move.

    I'm telepathetic, Georges Wines The Exile Clare Valley Shiraz 2013

    • Quant on 31/01/2018 - 16:49

      The 2013 was a limited release, which scored 92 in the Wine Companion, whereas OP has listed this as a 93. Skye used to sell it for $150 a dozen here: https://www.skyecellars.com.au/product/880-georges-exile-cla…

      Looks like this might be the 2014? Which did I believe score 93. Also RRP is $20 a bottle not $30 in that case. So still not a bad deal at $150 a dozen for what looks to be a decent drop, but I've never tried it.

      You can still get some of the 2012 for $15 a bottle too by the looks of it if you're in SA, but not much left.

        Hi @Quant.
        This wine scored 93pt and it is 2013 vintage.
        It is a limited release as well. The RRP is $29.95.
        It is not the same wine as the link you submitted.
        I am pretty sure that @terrydaktyle can give you more info.

          Ah ok, I see the error of my ways, i was getting my info from: http://georges-exile.com/2017/08/12/halliday_scores_geogres_… , but misinterpreted it.

          It seems 'The Exile' Shiraz, and exile Shiraz are not the same thing… bit confusing. So you're right RRP is $29.95, though only available from the winery and yourselves. Ned Goodwin has a fair bit of clout though, so I'll give it a vote.

          @Quant: Thank you Quant.
