Jay Miller - Wine Advocate
The 2004 Shiraz “Command” comes
from a single block of 104-year-old vines. It was aged in
100% new oak puncheons (400 liter barrels). Opaque purple-colored,
this Shiraz has fabulous aromatics of smoke, melted tar, licorice,
espresso, game, and blueberry compote. Layered but tight,
this full-bodied wine is thick, rich, and totally hedonistic.
The finish lasts for 60 seconds. However, be warned. This
monumental Shiraz needs 10-15 years to fully unfold.
