Needed some time to open up, but lush, deep, and a seductive storm of a wine - a little California in Montpellier

12' Realm Tempest . Soft and luscious. Crowd pleaser, without a doubt. Buy all of your allocation of Tempest!

@David L David, David. So lush, rich and delicate. A ripe generous wine offering a mix of muscle and flexibility. Core of blackberry and licorice making a delightful fruit bowl. Firm tannins yet ripe. 2 hour decant and rocking! Thanks again David for sharing this with Jennifer and I.

The biggest bottle of Tempest I've had. It needs TIME. Black licorice, plum, some spice. I'll revisit it again in a few years.
