Coffee, espresso, mocha from oak aging. Juicy, full-bodied Australian red wine with black fruit yet not over-oaked. Loaded with layers of lapping pleasure with a long finish. Meaty and savoury and lip-smacking delicious. Sink your senses into this one. Elderton commands respect from wine lovers. Perfect for holiday entertaining.

Shiraz food pairings: beef prosciutto, black bean soup, blue cheese, lamb shank.

Reviews and Ratings

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A big and tall Shiraz, from Barossa. Yum! It is a full-bodied wine but not heavy. It is spicy and earthy and contains layers of red cherries, liquorice, leather, and some wild flower aromas. Its tannins are firm but not clawing. Ready to drink now, but will continue to improve in the cellar. Would make a beautiful gift. Score 93. (reviewed Nov. 2016)
This robust Australian red wine is made from Shiraz grapes grown 120-year-old vines. The 2012 vintage of the Command Shiraz was aged 30 months in French and American oak barrels. This is the 26th vintage of producing this wine. - Community Wine Reviews
