Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
A stunning effort, the 2002 Shiraz Command
exhibits an inky/blue/purple color as well as a sweet perfume
of camphor, blueberries, blackberries, acacia flowers, and
smoky, toasty oak. Full-bodied, opulent, and viscous, with
huge, but sweet tannin, decent acidity, and a muscular, long,
40+ second finish, this is a classic, potentially long-lived,
Barossa blockbuster. It’s accessible now, but ideally
needs another 2-4 years of bottle age, and should keep for
two decades.
