11’ Realm Bard. This can’t be the same wine I had three years ago!?!
Slightly tight & needs a short decanting.
Color- Purple/ dark ruby. Big ,lush & graceful... all at once.
Dark berries, white chocolate, graphite. Soft tannins & moderate acidity. What an exceptional effort from this 2011 beauty. Drink them up in them next 6/8 years. What a wonderful surprise!

Time as really rewarded this vintage. The oak is well integrated. It's a rich., easy to drink well built wine. Front and mid but not as much on the back. Drink them if you have them. I'm not regretting my decision to pop this one!
