Jun 14th, 2022Well hello Delectable! It’s been awhile. Long uninteresting story about that. But I’m returning with some goodies. This 2015 was marvelous and it strikes me as ready to drink now, though Realm keeps surprising with longevity.

Dark purple and opaque. Big nose. Big wine. Notes of black fruit and blueberries, gravel stone, some graphite and tobacco leaf. Rich in the mouth but not overly so. Great structure and balance. Silky. Long lasting finish.
