The Bard 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Realm Cellars The Bard 2021 layers pure blackcurrant and blackberry fruit with hints of bay, cedar and warm baking spice, all wrapped in a sleek, velvety frame. Full-bodied yet vibrant, it shows finely woven, chocolaty tannins and impressive precision, finishing long with notes of dark cherry and subtle tobacco. A powerful but poised vintage that offers both early pleasure and serious aging potential.
