  In a fantastic spot! Tannins dropped. Good balance and long finish. Could drink up the aromatics - which is good - as the bottle disappeared quickly amongst friends

  For me the wine is at its peak as while the concentration is certainly there, the overall structure has rounded considerably with not enough for my palate to believe this will go the distance. Beautiful now- still very primary but so enjoyable. Drink now or in the coming years.

  Might be my favorite wine of the year - everything is working for it right now!

  Bought this to drink in Realm’s latest library release, but still hard to be ok with opening this $300+ wine. Excellent nose from first opening, decanted 4 hours and probably best at 5+. Dark cherries and cinnamon on the nose, more dark fruit, chocolate, spices on the palate. Better without food and with attention. Oaky tannins still apparent and drying, alcohol not as integrated as I would like which is the only thing holding it back from a higher score. Long finish. You could think from other reviews that there is urgency to srink this, I disagree. I think this will continue to improve so can drink now and it’s great but no rush!!

  PNP and drank over 3 hours. VG out of the bottle but got better with air till gone. Ultra smooth, well balanced, modern napa cab. Black and blue fruited and towards the end very floral perfumed. An excellent Realm - but quite pricey. Thanks, Gerry, for sharing. HMC easy 96 and given more time maybe higher.
