2014 Elderton Command Shiraz, Barossa Valley is a big blockbuster Barossa shiraz. A big blossoming wine, with rich fruitcake aromas. That moves on into the rich palate. Ok youv'e got it!, it's rich. But it is, without being vulgar. Spicy hints with a sprinkling of dark chocolateand that dark berry fruit has you reaching for a chunk of cloth wrapped cheddar.
97 pts - James Halliday Wine Companion
Hewn of 1894 ancient vine oomph and tannin management of aplomb, this is power corseted by a filmy, gossamer texture and sheer, strident vinosity. Put it this way, the wine could come from nowhere else, yet the overall impression is one of Elderton's newfound restraint.
Oodles of dark fruit, anise, tar, camphor and a Cadbury milk chocolate creaminess coat the palate. There is a barrel ferment smokiness, too. The extraction levels are a point; the use of French and American oak sensitive. All is in a harmony and perfectly suited to the style.
