JCP Maltus 2003 EXILE Red (Barossa Valley)
- $200
The ’02 Exile had plenty of oak, and this ’03 has its share as well (coffee, toast, spice, mocha—the works).

JCP Maltus 2003 ÉMIGRÉ Red (Barossa Valley)

L’Étranger is the most appropriately named wine I’ve come across in a while. This bottling offers raisiny, bready aromas (think cinnamon-raisin bagel), and earthy, sweet-and-sour notes on the palate (think Sweet Tart, tree and raisin). A strange one, indeed. Imported by The Colonial Wine Company.
