James Suckling 96 Points — "Black Truffles, Creamy Tannins, Fabulously Age-Worthy" — In Magnum

The 2019 Sons of Eden Romulus Barossa Valley Old Vine Shiraz 1.5 Litre is a 96-point Suckling magnum of one of the Barossa's most respected boutique flagship Shiraz expressions.

My Wine Man on Sons of Eden

Sons of Eden is one of the Barossa Valley's most respected boutique wineries. The Romulus is the estate's flagship old-vine Barossa Shiraz — sourced from some of the valley's oldest dry-grown vineyards. In magnum, the wine ages more gracefully and makes a serious celebration centrepiece.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Black truffles, dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and creamy tannins. Full-bodied with extraordinary depth and a long, generous finish. 96 Points — James Suckling.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with creamy tannins. In magnum, built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 1–2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 96-point Barossa magnum deserves the finest beef. We love it with Cape Grim Grass-Fed Tomahawk Steak from My Meat Man — reverse-seared low and slow before a hard finish on the grill, a magnificent match for Romulus's black truffle, dark plum and creamy old-vine Barossa tannins.
