Elderton 2018 Command Single Vineyard Shiraz

Bold and expressive wine crafted from vines planted in 1894. It opens with rich aromas of blackberry, spiced plum, cocoa, and earthy spice, layered with hints of vanilla and smoky cedar. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and vibrant, showcasing concentrated dark fruit flavors balanced by structured, grippy tannins and a touch of acidity that keeps it fresh. There's a plush roundness to the mouthfeel, with notes of fruit cake and chocolate adding depth and complexity. This vintage is already showing some development, making it enjoyable now, though it’s also a strong candidate for cellaring over the next two decades.
