May 14, 2024 - Smooth, well-rounded.
May 14, 2024 - Belated note: Young - tight the first day like most 2018s. Next day was much improved. Holding.
April 14, 2024 - This wine seems to be improving, from very good to great! This was very enjoyable, with ripe red and black fruit, soft tannins, and well balanced. Very good QPR for a top-end Napa Cab / Bourdeaux blend.
April 5, 2024 - Complex long finish cab. Great at price point. Needs a solid decant and drank better for me on day 2 and then perfectly 3 after frig.
March 18, 2024 - This is everything I could ask for from a Bordeaux blend from Napa fruit. Complexity, nice mix of dark and red fruit. Very subtle oak. Not overly tannic or big in any way. For what it is, I'd pay the release price on this all day from Realm.
March 7, 2024 - Precise Napa Cabernet with well balanced acid and tannins. Dense fruit. Powerfull but seems feminine in it’s style. Long lenght.
February 17, 2024 - Takes about an hour to open up and from there on this is fantastic. All the yumminess in the reviews, no need to repeat them here, this has got it all and in an explosive spot right now.
February 14, 2024 - 1 hour decant: Plum, blackberry, hazelnut, baking spices, potting soil, great acidity, pepper on the finish
2 hours: cocoa, chocolate fudge
3 hours: nutty almond heaven
January 27, 2024 - Tasted at Fruits of the Vine 2024 at Edition Hotel Singapore. Not able to write down tasting notes, only rating score.
December 27, 2023 - Christmas Eve. Didn't take great notes. Decanted for about 3 hours. Dark in the glass. Grippy yet round tannin. Blackberry. Really enjoyed this and could seeing it age very well.
