Following the 2020 vintage, which provided a robust, structured Belle Dame, the 2021 marks a return to elegance and refinement. It positively flows across despite its dense concentration. There are sumptuous, pure flavors of damson and blueberry while the flint soils provide a fine line on the finish. Tasted from wooden tank around half-way through its maturation stage, it will be bottled unfined and unfiltered. I'll put it on my shopping list.
