2003 Australia
Learn more about 2003 Australia
Drought was a huge influence in 2003 for vineyards throughout Australia, reducing crop size and adding significantly to concentration levels.
Rain arrived just before harvest time, but in many cases had no detrimental effect on the health of the crop. Most successful varieties have been the tannic red grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, which have produced dense, structured wines of power, intensity and longevity.

Penfolds,
Ready, but will improve,
Penfolds- iconic 2003 Grange is Shiraz blended with 3.5% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra. It was aged for 15 months in 100% new American oak. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up aromas of cedar, cigar box, leather, Asian spices, and blueberry. On the palate it is layered but a bit short on depth and grip with only moderate length. It will evolve for 5-7 years and drink well from 2014 to 2030.

Glen Eldon Wines,
Ready, but will keep,
The 2003 Shiraz Dry Bore is a full-throttle effort aged 24 months in a combination of French and American hogsheads. Its opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of loamy soil, pepper, herbs, black currants, and berries. Spicy, rich, slightly rustic, but impressively endowed, it should drink well for a decade or more.
