Score 90/100 · Drink 1998-2008, Robert Parker, Feb 1998
Readers may remember the stunning reviews I gave to Elderton's 1992 Command Shiraz. The flamboyantly-styled, lavishly-oaked, exotic, opaque purple-colored 1993 Command Shiraz possesses an intense, smoky, jammy prune and blackberry-scented nose, followed by dense, full-boded, gorgeously silky-textured flavors that are bursting with fruit, glycerin, and alcohol. It is a mouthfilling, viscous style of Shiraz that makes an immediate impression. This wine should become more civilized over the next few years, and drink well for a decade or more.
