Elderton Shiraz 2009
Snoothrank:
Sweet red berry and gym socks on the nose. Loads of funk. Dried mulberry with spice box, eucalyptus and anise. Generous fruit on the palate with low, soft tannin. Crisp acid. Dry finish. Ends on a red berry note. 86 pts.12/15/12 Read More

Elderton Barossa Friends Vineyard Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Snoothrank:
Reddish-Purple in the glass. Solid musty "cabernet" nose. Very fruity--dare I say sweetish--on the tip of the tongue, but then, as it travels through the mouth the irritating "sweetness" fades. Puckering tannin emerges, earthy flavors, maybe some mint. After the tannins fade on the finish, there is a nice linger. US$19.99 at Total Wines. Read More

Elderton "Command" Single Vineyard Shiraz Barossa Valley 1999
Snoothrank:
Opened as the first bottle of the mini vertical tasting with 2000 and 2001, the brick-like core held an orange hue giving signs of high acid with age. Licorice notes but lack of fruits, mixed with bright acidity with medium tannins make it feels like an over the top wine. Has a long finish but feels hot with alcohol. Could be storage issue, or p...

Elderton Shiraz Command Barossa 2005
Snoothrank:
Wow! The thickly layered nose, full of surprises over four hours, opens to black raspberries, oak, smoke, and a changing mélange of floral aromas. At one hour, add cherries, minerals, faint blueberries, and black pepper. At three hours, the aromatic complexity increases again to include currant, licorice, curry, vanilla, violet, honeysuckle, an... Read More

Elderton Shiraz 2006
Snoothrank:
Powerful, complex aromas leap from glass on opening, including plum, vanilla and chocolate, with notes of pepper and blueberry adding to the luscious medley. A sumptuous plush, buttery mouthfeel spreads throughout the palate with plum and chocolate following, punctuated by a zingy, peppery finish. A rich, silky texture covers the tongue, and s...

Powerful aromas leap from the glass on opening, including plum, vanilla and chocolate, with notes of pepper and blueberry adding to the luscious medley. A wonderful, plush, buttery mouthfeel spreads throughout the palate with blackberry, plum and chocolate following, punctuated by a zingy, peppery display of syncopated, upbeat acidity. A touch ...
