Elderton Command Shiraz 2010 750ml, Barossa Valley

Expert Reviews

James Halliday's Wine Companion - 95 pts - Medium crimson-purple, the hue good, although not particularly deep; a very elegant and refined shiraz that fully lives up to its reputation; fragrant red and black fruits have a garland of spicy oak on the bouquet, a message that is faithfully reproduced on the long, medium-bodied palate. - Drink by 2030, Date tasted 22 Mar 2013
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95 pts - Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Command Shiraz shows off pronounced blueberries and dark chocolate aromas laced with Szechuan pepper and Chinese Five Spice plus a touch of menthol. Full-bodied, very structured and still showing the oak, the palate is fresh, very clean and pure with plenty of spice lingering in the long finish. Drink it now to 2025+. - Feb 2014

Wine Spectator - 93 pts - Polished, expressive and ripe, with a sense of elegance to the blackberry, plum and floral flavors. This finishes long, offering hints of crème de menthe and espresso. Shows density but not excess weight. Drink now through 2020. 150 cases imported. -HS Aug 31 2014
