Astonishing concentrated yet very balanced. Amazing how they achieved it. Explosion of black fruits and soft tannins.

It’s Realm. It’s Beckstoffer Dr Crane. It’s 2012. Of course it’s great.

Disgracefully good. A gift for the evening from @David L and his lovely wife Kristen - thank you so much my friends 😍. Never tasted this before, but am mesmerized now... With every sip, this evolves like a chameleon. Texture, weight and acidity are all in lock-step. Agree with RP on this. Perfection in a glass.

12’ Realm Beckstoffer Dr Crane. Color- Inky dark purple. This wine jumps out of the glass ( Holy S%#t ) Blueberry pie, blackberries, smokiness, dare I say a bit of earthiness to it. Sexy,complexed & incredibly delicious. WOW! Drinking now with 15 great years in it.

Classy. More reserved than the usual Realm from Dr. Crane and for me that's a good thing. Loved it.

A legitimate wow wine! Youthful and exuberant with gobs of blue and black fruit and a long, lingering remarkably delicious finish. Elegant yet feisty.

A great wine. Slight bitterness but endearing and lush on the mid palate
