Friday, June 8, 2018 - Decanted 2 hours. Definite brownish tinge. Nose of coffee, spices and vanilla, all beautifully integrated. A wine I could sniff all night. Palate follows the nose, lengthy finish. Still drinking very well but not sure for how much longer.

Even in poor Barossa vintages, like 2007, Command shines.
