Description

James Haliday: The deep & complex bouquet has an array of rich, dark berry, plum, chocolate & vanilla aromas. The rich palate has a sweet fruit, chocolate & vanilla mix. This is a very good example of the full-on American Oaked Shiraz style. 94/100

94 Points Robert Parker
A spectacular offering, the 1998 Command Shiraz (which spent 3 years in French and American oak) is the type of wine that is impossible to duplicate outside of selected Barossa and McLaren Vale vineyard sites. An opaque purple colour is followed by spectacular aromas of toasty oak, camphor, blackberry liqueur, and asphalt. It is humongous in the mouth, decadently rich, and luxuriously fruited, with a viscous texture as well as a 40-second finish. Low acidity and ripe tannin add to the succulent impression. Still youthful, it requires another 2-3 years of cellaring; it should age effortlessly for 15-16+ years.

Rich, ripe and seductive, still amazingly youthful, brimming with red plum, blackberry and guava flavours, speckled with layers of exotic spice, crème brûlée, a touch of liquorice and a hint of espresso. The structure is utterly seamless...
