Great SB from Realm!!! — 7 months ago
Young. Black and red ripe fruit. A bit more fruit forward. Tannins match it and should have years to develop. Decant helps. Enjoyable. — 2 years ago
This was utterly fantastic.
The first sip seemed like another one of their many other great bottling’s. So, I let open & warm up and then the magic began. It is next generation from the others and they are very good.
The tannins were so soft & well managed. The wine seamless and beautiful. The fruit second to none. It simply got better with each sip. With each sip the; balance of fruit & earth extremely impressive. The layers just kept building unlikely any other Napa Cabernet I’ve had. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t get a 100 from nearly every critic. Allocation just opened last week. Ships in the fall. Just one thing, it’s $675 a bottle. — 23 days ago

So we are tasting the 2005 side by side with the 2007. Both decanted and both are singing. This is a difficult call and I am giving both a 9.6 rating, not willing to rank one above the other. Deep and complex flavor profile. Incredibly smooth. Fantastic wine. — 10 days ago
One of my favorite vineyards Bourn. Unfortunately Realm will not have access to their grapes. — 3 months ago
Picked up a couple of these from a local cellar sale at a crazy cheap price and have been happy with each one.
Classically older SLD Cabernet. The fruit spectrum is on the red and black side (as I expect from SLD) with a mocha/cocoa layered sweetness. Some older fig, sweet pipe tobacco, and a core of fruit still in-tact. Soft on the mid-palate but retaining nice structure throughout the finish. Exactly what I expected from 34yr old Napa Cabernet.
Hope to try the Realm X Hartwell wine to see the vision from where this was to what the profile goal is in the future. — a year ago
