Love this wine. All kinds of nuance even at this young age. First taste is a blend of chocolate and berries but then .... all kinds of flavors hit.

Big wine just as you’d expect. Realm to be ... 3 hours of decanting and the wine remained ‘tight’ .. next time decent in AM :)

This was so good! Amazing purity of fruit and hints of milk chocolate. Simply delicious!

Interesting cab - smooth and structured, with softer qualities. Very good by itself - no food required.

Had this last wkd. Wow! When I visit Realm this is exactly what I experience but it is rare to repeat at home. If you have any 2014 Farella, don’t wait. Pop one now. You won’t regret it....til it’s gone!
