Made from Biodynamically-raised fruit, this excellent wine shows serious ripeness but also admirably purity and expressiveness. Open and delicious already, it is very generously flavored but not obvious or chunky. A meaty quality underlying the fruit lends special interest, and the finish is wonderfully symmetrical and persistent.
