Wine: 2010 Sons of Eden Romulus
Obtained from: Purchased at KL Wines, Hollywood, CA
Price: $65
Wino4Life Category: Splurge Wine
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Dark, dark, (dark), purple with a red rim.
Aroma: Black cherry, vanilla, licorice - a beautiful nose.
Taste: Big and concentrated fruit - very Australian Shiraz. Somewhat tannic, could probably age a few more years or benefited from a couple hours in a decanter.
The Grade: I give this one an A. Definitely big and new world, but oh so delicious. Paired wonderfully with the brisket and taters, and really enhanced the smokey character (which is why I chose a Syrah/Shiraz based wine!). I am now on the hunt for a bottle of Remus to compare. Let the battle begin!
