Elderton Command Single Vineyard Shiraz 2020 in Brampton, ON

The style is immediately Barossa and immediately Elderton. It is bold with the structure to support the power and intensity of the fruit. The classic combination of dark plum and clove with a decent hit of roasted coffee beans emerges immediately. The tannins are firm but finely placed contributing to a wine of elegance and balance. The wine gets 24 months in a mix of new French and American oak, yet such is their balance it doesn't show as excessively oaky. Super wine for the cellar. Drink by: 2023-2043. Score - 98.
