Better than the other 11s. Tasty and approachable. Red fruit. A little fragile.

Incredible wine for 2011. Are we sure they didn’t use 2012 grapes?!?!?!😀

The wine that sold me on Realm. If Benoit and the team can do this in 2011, imagine the future possibilities. Multiple amazing wines since.

Badass in a glass. A monster which had to be tamed. 2 hours open and it's now evolving in the glass.
Thank you sir., may I have another!!!! 😜

@David L @Juan Mercado @Mike R Doesn't get much better than this!
My 1st granddaughter!! Celebrating a beautiful night outside with this 2nd terrific bottle of 11 Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon. Whoever said 11 was an off year was 100% wrong. This bottle is drinking superbly and is absolutely amazing.
Nuf Said! 👍😍👍👍😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it does not get much better than this 2011 Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon.
Drinking absolutely beautifully right now. It is truly amazing the transformation this wine has undergone in a few short years. Stunning, absolutely stunning. It is definitely the wine of the night.
That is my first grandson Grant! He is definitely bad ass! Perhaps he's seen his grandpapa enjoy the nose of a wine once too often! LOL he is my sommelier in training! ❤️😍❤️❤️😍❤️ I love that little dude!

@David A Lentine @Gina Sabean @Christine You know that you are drinking GREAT wines when you can say that a Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon came in last. I love this producer beyond measure!! Every wine they make is a hit. Everyone tonight agreed that drank by itself it would have been amazing. However, it still needs a few years to open up and spread its wings!! All of my bottles were decanted for 8 hours today, I began formulating thus rodeo of a lineup around 11am. The Realm had huge dark fruit but too many rough edges in comparison to the others. In all honesty, these are so good that we are splitting hairs but alas they must be ranked and that is how the Cookie Crumbled this evening.
