Might be the worst Realm I've had, which is to say it's merely delicious instead of amazing. Or merely amazing instead of AMAZING.

The Raven was better but I still loved this wine. Debating if I should have switched order. Probably.

Beautiful as expected. Gobs of rich, ripe black currants and boysenberries. Freshly chopped oak. Some black pepper. Drinking beautifully now - see no reason to hold!
