  Easter Saturday bottle. Decanted for 2 plus hours, and this wine is a beast. Tons of velvety dark fruit cassis, chocolate and minerality. Baking and roasted spices involved too - very deep and dense. Plenty of upside here with time.

  Opened in the bottle five plus hours. This was pretty much ready from the start though opened up more after an hour. In all honesty it was not impressive. Tons cassis and ultra ripe dark fruit. It’s structured but purely from the ripeness of the fruit as both acid and tannins (maybe some grip more at the finish) are minimal. To me it lacked freshness and lift. It’s good but just not living up to the vintage, vineyard and brand. Personal preference is to drink Realm very young.
