  Prestige Cuvee from Barossa house Elderton vintage 2010 (enjoyed 2021)
  
  Classic Aussie Shiraz perfected
  
  In the bouquet and on palate blackcurrant, smoke and black pepper.
  
  Lively acidity that drives the gustatory experience forward. Balances the otherwise powerful black fruits, spices and oak hints perfectly and ensures that this wine, when appropriately chilled, never gets flappy.
  
  Long finish with black fruits, liquorice and menthol with an acidic finish.
  
  Had with steak au poivre. Perfect match

  Part of the vertical tasting of Elderton Command Shiraz of 2005,2006,2007 and 2010 vintage.
  
  A dense and complex bouquet of smoked vanilla beans, clove, licorice, ripe blueberries and blueberries plums and black pepper. Probably not the most forward among the group. Spicy and salty caramel with some blue fruits on the palate. Dry and dense. Full bodied with rounded structure. Transition to finish is not as seamless and deep as the rest. Ready to drink now and will last for the next few years. This doesn’t have the longevity of the 2005 vintage.

  Classic barossa shiraz, oaky, black fruited, spice. Full bodied but not huge. a little jammy for me and lacked a little bit of concentration and layers for what I would expect of a wine in this price bracket (if you sat compare to standish) but certainly not complaining.

  Drank over two days. Some signs of aging in the color. A bit dirty actually with already a fair amount of sediment.
  First day quite sappy with purple tinged fruits, eucalyptus, leather and earthy manure. A plush mouthfeel of stewed plums starts things of finishing with bright acidity on the medium-long finish.
  Day two things have mellowed and there shows a coolness to the fruit making me believe that this wine a few better years ahead of itself. Chocolate prunes, baking spices, and obvious oak tones. Tons of ripe blue and red fruit on the palate with a sweet attack. The finish is still bright and focused though a bit warm.
