Elderton Command Shiraz 2013
The Elderton Command Shiraz has established an enviable reputation since the first vintage in 1984. It is truly one of Australia’s best and most highly regarded icon wines. The 2013 vintage is the 27th release of this wine since 1984 – the wine was not made in 1989, 1991 and 2011. Fruit comes from the Command block which was planted in 1984 and is one of the most special vineyards in Australia. The Command block and its gnarly vines have been dubbed an ancestor vineyard under the Barossa Old Vine Charter.
"This classic and supreme example of Barossa shiraz comes off vines that are now more than 120 years old. Hugely concentrated and dense, yet with remarkable lift and elegance through the palate. Chock full of blackberry and licorice with a mocha-like influence. Retains a spiciness with the palate extending through to a very long finish. Consistently one of the best statements of classic Barossa." Ray Jordan
The Command Shiraz gained worldwide recognition in the 1990s and early 2000s after receiving an enviable string of accolades. The 1992 vintage was chosen by the influential wine critic Robert Parker in the Wine Advocate as one of the world’s Top 80 wines, the 1995 Command was awarded 95 points by Wine Spectator and placed in their Top 100 wines, the 1996 won the trophy for the 'Best Shiraz in the World' at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition, and the 2000 was awarded 97 points by Wine Spectator and placed 27 in their Top 100.
"Very dark purple with bright magenta hues. On the nose, blackberry fruit, aniseed and spices. Aromas of blackberry fruit, aniseed and spices carry through to the palate which is rich, warm and generous. Matured for 12 months in new American and French oak puncheons followed by 20 months in older oak. Drink now or cellar confidently for 15 - 20 years." Elderton
