Elderton Command Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon

The hand harvested fruit was fermented in open top concrete fermenters with chilled ferments, hand pumpovers and cap submerging with oak header boards for eight days; the process finished with barrel ferment and malolactic fermentation in new French oak. The nose shows dark chocolate and black fruits and olives, with the palate continuing the theme, showing these typical Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon characters, giving weight and generosity to the wine. Ripe tannins add structure while being supple and mouth watering. - Richard Langford Smooth and rich, deep purple in colour and dark chocolate, black fruits and olives aroma.

A museum release from Elderton Wines :

Boy, this is one of the best I have tasted of this classic Barossa old-vine cabernet sauvignon. Such a seamless and elegant wine, with true varietal cabernet of a type you only get in the very best vintages. Blackcurrant and tobacco leaf, with a little black olive. Silky-smooth palate with such elegant tannins and fine-grained oak. A beauty. 97 points, Ray Jordan, The West Australian
