Reviews

Cast your doubts about blockbuster Barossa reds aside: this is a delicious drink. With mocha, spice, dark chocolate and toasty barrel aromas, it boasts a sweet fruit palate of succulence and plush silky texture, fleshy opulence, and lovely harmony. Eminently satisfying.
Deep garnet, the nose of the still youthful 2009 Command Shiraz reveals a lot of oak with a good core of cedar, black berry preserves, pepper, cinnamon stick, cloves and vanilla plus a whiff of mocha. Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, it offers a great concentration of licorice and vanilla flavors in the mouth complementing the pure berry richness with firm, rounded tannins and crisp acid supporting, finishing long and cedary.
