[SOLD-OUT] Elderton Command Shiraz 2009

"Blue fruits, black fruits, blue-in-the-face oak. Chocolate, dense plum, malt, toast, oak-spice. It's thick and syrupy, a little truffly, balanced in its own way and yet exaggerated in others. The alcohol is high, but it doesn't show " credit to the weight of fruit.. I suspect that this will have a good cellaring future."

Cast your doubts about blockbuster Barossa reds aside: this is a delicious drink. With mocha, spice, dark chocolate and toasty barrel aromas, it boasts a sweet fruit palate of succulence and plush silky texture, fleshy opulence, and lovely harmony. Eminently satisfying.

"Deep garnet, the nose of the still youthful 2009 Command Shiraz reveals a lot of oak with a good core of cedar, black berry preserves, pepper, cinnamon stick, cloves and vanilla plus a whiff of mocha. Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, it offers a great concentration of licorice and vanilla flavors in the mouth complementing the pure berry richness with firm, rounded tannins and crisp acid supporting, finishing long and cedary. It should drink best 2015 to 2024+."
