Elderton 'Command' Shiraz 2002

Robert Parker 95
"A stunning effort, the 2002 Shiraz Command exhibits an inky/blue/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of camphor, blueberries, blackberries, acacia flowers, and smoky, toasty oak. Full-bodied, opulent, and viscous, with huge, but sweet tannin, decent acidity, and a muscular, long, 40+ second finish, this is a classic, potentially long-lived, Barossa blockbuster. Its accessible now, but ideally needs another 2-4 years of bottle age, and should keep for two decades."

Wine Spectator 93
"Rich, dense and velvety, distinctive for its blueberry, boysenberry and spice flavors, shaded with subtle cocoa and tar notes, lingering beautifully on the subtle, generous finish. Best from 2008 through 2015. 1,550 cases imported." ~H.S.
