Elderton's Command Shiraz is one old school Barossa Shiraz. Named because of the special treatment the quality fruit 'commanded', this is a Shiraz of foreboding concentration. The fruit for this 'Excellent' Langton's classified Australian icon comes from the century old Elderton vineyard located on the banks of the Para River and is matured in a mixture of French and American oak. This allows the wine to retain its driven power while also giving the wine a level of complexity and balance unique to this region and producer. Elderton's Command can be enjoyed by lovers of ripe and rich fruit early, yet will reward the truly patient with a wine of true beauty when left alone to mature for a decade. Drinking Window: 2018 - 2050 Critic tasting note: (2012 vintage) "This wine shows ripe red raspberry and currant fruit, with an orange tang, a hint of florals and herbal oak. The body lies somewhere between medium and full, while the ripe, almost sweet fruit reminds you that you're still in big Barossa territory. Drink 2019–2027." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast Show more
