This is a 2011?!? Big, round, full of flavor. I was expecting a bit more tannin & acidity, due to the cooler growing season, but this Merlot surprised me.

Wanted to celebrate today’s Realm Release, but my inventory is just dwindling thanks to Coronalcoholism, so went with next best thing. This is such a great go-to wine. Full-bodied, great mouthfeel. Could drink this all the time. @Benoit Touquette is a sexy Mfer.

I was shocked at how well this drank. I expected a dude and was pleasantly rewarded with a plumy, jammy full bodied wine with legs to go for a few more years

A lovely wine that should have been enjoyed a couple of years ago. Velvety tannins remain and subdued notes of dark fruit along with a surprising vibrant nose provided us with an indication of what this wine was all about during its prime.

Been storing this 2002 since its release in 2004(?). OMG so worth the wait. Rich mouthfeel, lush fruit with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, easy tannins and a long mellow finish. Wish I had another bottle! Oh wait! I do. :)
