RP 95 | WE 92 | WS 93
"Creamy and intense, with layers of smoke and vanilla over blackberry fruit. Long, with soft tannins."

Elderton Command Shiraz 2003
Barossa, South Australia, Shiraz Blend
750 ml / Australia / 14.5% ABV

JO 32 | WE 93 | WS 94
"Despite a tough vintage, this is a lush, complete wine. Vanilla and cedar notes on the nose serve to accent the layers of intense—verging on syrupy—blackberry fruit. It's easy enough to drink now, but rich enough that you may want to hold it another couple of years. Just don't expect this one to age more than a decade."
January 2007 (Wine Enthusiast)

Elderton Command Shiraz 2004 (2 bottles)
Barossa, South Australia, Shiraz Blend
750 ml / Australia / 14.5% ABV

RP 96 | WE 95 | WS 94
"The current release, 2003, is an excellent wine, but this vintage kicks it up a notch. It's brighter, fresher and more vibrant than its amply endowed precursor, bursting with peppery raspberries. Creamy and rich, yet wonderfully balanced, and while you could drink it now, it will also cellar well for 10-plus years."

Elderton Command Shiraz 2005 (2 bottles)
Barossa, South Australia, Shiraz Blend
750 ml / Australia / 14.5% ABV

CT 94 | FS 93 | JO 93 | RP 97 | WF 95 | WS 94
"Dark ruby ??garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge lightening. On the nose, sweet herbal spices, candied orange zest, fine nougat, a hint of dill tips and caramel. Juicy, fine roasted aromas, good complexity, ripe dark fruit, chocolaty touch on the finish, a versatile food accompaniment, already at an initial drinking peak."
May 2013 (Falstaff)
