2022
James Suckling 96: An extensive, harmonious and vertical pinot noir. The nose offers notes of cherries, forest berries, wild herbs, gunpowder, wet stones and some sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Ample and layered, with plenty of minerality at the center. Flinty and driven, with such succulence. Lively and full of verve. Long, sharp finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vinous 93: The 2022 Belle Dame is done in a mouth-filling, tender style that covers the palate with a veil of chalky tannins. It's well-composed, harmonious and unadulterated. There are flavors of pure Damson fruit, a spice-lifted note, cloves and cinnamon. The acidity provides a gentle stream of freshness. Drink: 2025-2037.
