Superb wine, a little young, strong tannins, rich body, deep red, strong currant, berry and soil flavors — 7 years ago
This might be the best QPR wine out there (I think I paid 20bucks) drinks like 10x that and then some. White pepper, slate and grapefruit. Chewy structure. Just awesome wine. Story is this is either the press wine or the after picks from a 1st growth BDX. Somebody told me Haut Brion. I can see that. Wish I had a lot more. — 8 years ago
6L 1989 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape. Drank w K at the 50th gala. What a cool bottle of wine, especially to compare with the 6L 1982 LA Mission Chateau Haut Brion. — 9 years ago

2002 année décriée mais vin excellent — 6 years ago
Pretty nose of white flower, peach, lemon peel, star fruit, and petrol, with faint aroma of almond and honey. Palate is quite round and textured for a predominately Sauvignon Blanc (95% with the rest Semillon) blend that saw 11 months in barrel partially. Chrysanthemum tea like bitter sweet on the taste with a bit of saltiness. Clean but short finish. — 7 years ago
Clearly aged, but still had some fruit and exotic notes of a wonderful wine — 7 years ago
While this vintage has lost some fruit it was a real treat to taste this back to back with Haut-Brion & w/ Mayacamas & StagsLeapWineCellars S.L.V. albeit more recent vintages for the #California wines. #JOP recreation. I'm not complaining! — 8 years ago
Not sure if it's just in a dumb phase or didn't want to come out and play. Not very inspiring, last bottle was better. Out of OWC — 9 years ago

Woah. This may be the greatest white wine I've ever had. Seriously. It out-shined the night's reds - Lafite, Haut Brion, and Palmer. It's rich with fruit (apple, honeysuckle) with great minerality. A super long finish. I'll be seeking out more of these 2011s, and I highly recommend that you do too! — 7 years ago
My first shot at the Realm white and it delivered huge. Astounding aromatics of sassafras (yes! @Roman Sukley) and rain soaked vegetation. Melon rind, stream bed and a lively verve. I may be crazy but I get a Haut Brion blanc vibe here. Outstanding with fresh oysters and good company. — 8 years ago
2001 still very nice! Improves still with some air. Looong finish. — 9 years ago
1992. Drank after haut brion and petrus 82 so no accurate comment here. Nose is typical pomerol, but the coating effect remains long n silky. Drink. — 10 years ago
An oldie but a goodie, great claret color, garnet with a touch of purple, a faint brick on the rim. The nose is haunting, with leather and old library page aromas, dried sweet tobacco, smoke, and roasted coffee beans. The palate is silky, expansive, with savory notes and lush and full textures. A long, elegant and broad finish. — 11 years ago
