Recently Wine Exchange Asia held a vertical of Elderton Single Vineyard Command Barossa Valley Shiraz where we were lucky enough to taste a vertical of vintages 1999 through 2007 inclusive.

I am a big fan of Command and Elderton wines, so was really looking forward to this. It was an interesting night, made more so because of a fire in Boat Quay on the day of the tasting, which meant a late change of venue. Both Wine Exchange Asia and the venue, Boomerang, did a great job to accommodate the late change of notice.

And now for the wine!

The Wine

Whilst I was a bit disappointed with some of the wines, I think that, with patience, that a number of these wines will improve (at least I hope so) and will live up to expectations.

My picks of the night:

• 2003 Elderton Command Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz
• 2002 Elderton Command Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz
• 2006 Elderton Command Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz
