The flagship 2021 The Absurd from this team (the blend is never specified) is another absolute monument of a wine from Realm. Incredible blue fruits, redcurrants, liquid violets, dark chocolate, and scorched earth all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, flawlessly balanced mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and the purity, focus, and elegance paired with incredible levels of concentration that define the greatest wines of the 2021 vintage. Do your best to hide bottles for 4-5 years if you can, and it should hit prime time in 2030 or so and keep for over two decades.
The 2021 The Absurd is dense, plush and resonant, but also super-refined. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, rose petals, cinnamon and dried flowers all open in the glass, with silky, polished tannins that wrap it all together. This is an especially finessed version of Realm's flagship wine.
A big and juicy wine with lots of fruit and integrated tannins that also has a freshness at the same time. Full-bodied with lots going on at the end. Flamboyant and slightly old school, but it’s cool. A selection of barrels that the owners like.
