A little closed at first but opened up, complex fruit and cocoa. Long finish

My first Realm, beautiful bouquet. Nice ripe fruit coming off the top. Lots of cassis with some subtle leathery tones to round it out. Saw a Realm on someone's page on here and have been wanting to try it. Glad I did!

One of my favorite Merlot forward wines. This vintage was remarkable and unfortunately this is my last bottle. Fruity nose, very deep spicy flavors with some rosemary and licorice, smooth lingering finish. A winner in every possible manner.

Great violet and plum nose. Dark rich red and black fruit on palate. Chewy without harsh tannins. A bruiser but sophisticated. Absolutely adore what time has done to this young pup. It can go many years further but who will have the patience.
