2012 vintage. The Absurd from Realm. Spectacular on so many levels. Built for the ages and will reward patience, but with a little time to breathe the wine sings. Superb

Simply incredible, definitely over the top, mid palate blows up, incredibly luscious knows which invites you to partake in the first set. Simply incredible. I absolutely love it. To summit up in one word it is absolutely freaking absurd!

Too bad I can only get one bottle at a time. This blend is very open. Very little tannins. Nice nose of dark berry fruit. Beautiful finish.
