Thank you Sons of Eden for sharing this sample bottle of your 2018 Romulus Old Vine Shiraz with us - we well and truly enjoyed every last drop πŸ™Œ

This beauty picked up a coveted Platinum Award (97 points) at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards πŸ† This is alongside many other awards including being in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Australia 2021!

I can taste why!

It’s an opaque velvet red-black colour in the glass. It’s full of oomph on the nose with intricate yet vivacious notes of dark berry fruit, black pepper and leather. It’s heady, big and bold. In the mouth it follows suit with a super confident and sassy palate. It will cellar beautifully over the coming years, that’s for sure.

All opinions are my own. Drink what you enjoy!

Full bodied, robust flavors. Pairs well with lamb and well-seasoned meat.

Old vine depth of flavour showing through loud and clear. Deep, dark, and brooding. Very pure ribena then the savoury layer of bacon fat/funk below. Full bodied but without the tannin structure or freshness to provide balance.

Turned on to by a gal from Quigley wine purveyors and she nailed it. met at the Newport Wine and Food festival. Ordered a few wines and was introduced to this gem. Inexpensive and delicious. Must try.
