Realm Cellars The Tempest Proprietary Red 2023 Chateau Charmail good ripeness without excessRoughly the same blend and sourcing as the 2022, Realms 2023 The Tempest displays a lovely herbal floral element not seen in prior releases. Combined with the intense black cherries, the result is something special. In the mouth, this medium to full bodied wine is smooth and silky. Long, with hints of mocha on the finish and framed by fine grained tannins, this is elegant, lovely stuff. 96 Pts Wine Advocate
