Don't drink until 2015. This monumental Shiraz needs 10-15 years to fully unfold. Source Wine Advocate Issue 173 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. Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
