Tasting Notes

Sons of Eden Romulus Old Vine Shiraz 2022

"An explosion of blackberries, crushed violets, green leafy herbs and plum cake unfurls over the glossy texture and silky tannins with a supple mocha note to end." 96 Points / Gold, Decanter World Wine Awards

"Powerful and brooding aromas of blackberry compote, dark chocolate, black olives, charred spices, stones and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with densely packed tannins, a firm, structured mouthfeel and a long finish with a savory, minerally edge. Deep, concentrated and built for the long haul." 96 Points, James Suckling (Ryan Montgomery)


"A young stallion with lashings of ripe fruit and attractive detail. It opens with dense aromas of cocoa and blackberry over just a touch of crushed spices and lavish oak. This is seriously sophisticated. The controlled palate is supported by significant tannins, building into a killer finish." 95 Points, Vinous (Angus Hughson)
 

"Deep colour. Ripe blackberry, salted liquorice aromas with malty notes. Richly concentrated blackberry cedar spice flavours, plentiful grippy tannins and well-balanced mocha, malty notes. Chocolaty at the finish with some chinotto notes. Sweet and savoury wine with very good vinosity and mineral length." 95 Points, The Vintage Journal (Andrew Caillard MW & Ken Garrett)
