Another gem from Realm. Sadly my only bottle of the 16, but I’ve got more event vintages to enjoy in coming years. Dark ruby. Blue and black fruit, light floral nose. The 16 needs t least an hour decant at this point. 30 min in still a bit tight. Past an hour it opens beautifully to blue and black fruit, ripe and juicy, perfectly ripe. Rosemary, sage, semisweet chocolate, cedar. Structured perfectly! So much going on and so good!
