March 20, 2019 - The label says "I'm a feckin nob who thinks Jeremy Clarkson is a bloody good bloke and Top Gear is the best show on tv and I love 17% shiraz, yah yah yah"
The wine inside, however, is pure essence of Northern Rhone infused with some aussie oomf. Perfumed, elegant and restrained. Very surprising.
Just ignore the twatty label. I was personally ashamed to be seen carrying it.2 people found this helpful Comment -

October 26, 2017 - Good stuff here.
Silky, welcoming, ripe Barossa. Love the length. Well judged oak. Nice balance. Boy this is good.

August 24, 2017 - I love Command which in a good aged vintage is like a Grange at a fifth of the price. So I was curious what this cheaper and fun speedway thrills bottle had in store.
Offering delicate perfumed body (by Aus Shiraz standards) it was lighter than I expected but also youthfully fruity.
Theres a definite velvety Rhonesque purple regal softness.
This is built for fun young drinking. Maybe it peaks in 2019 / 2020 but I wouldnt hide it away like a vintage car, I take it out and race it!2 people found this helpful Comment -

June 3, 2017 - Jammy dark fruits, spices, med acidity. A fruit bomb. Improves a bit after aeration.
