96 points + Top 100 Wines of Australia 2021 - Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com
A great release of Command, this carries the bold and deeply flavorful style of the vintage effortlessly, a vintage that played into the natural style of this rich Barossa Valley shiraz. There’s so much to love about this wine, from the rich blackberry, red-plum and spice aromas and flavors to the silky, fine and long tannins. Floats long on the smooth finish.

A wine that has done much to contribute to the Elderton reputation as a significant Barossa producer. The fruit comes from a single block planted in 1894. It is made in a traditional way, with 30 months in a mix of French and American oak a major part of this style. This has to be one of the best yet. Silky smooth, effortlessly long and poised, yet there is explosive Barossa fruit power. Cracking good wine.
