Lot #1322. Realm Cellars Proprietary Red The Bard 2012

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 100 JD.
"Starting with the 2012 The Bard, this incredible blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot comes from a number of great sites including To Kalon, Dr. Crane, Fortuna, and Weitz. It’s just now starting to show some maturity and has a wonderfully complex bouquet of blackcurrants, dried spices, chocolate, cedarwood, and smoke tobacco. This carries to a full-bodied, seamless, sensationally textured 2012 with sweet tannins, no hard edges, and a heavenly finish. It actually reminds me slightly of the 2009 Haut Bailly! This is thrilling wine to enjoy any time . . ." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Aug 2020
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $300
