Relatively elegant and charming for a dry 2010 at this stage, more fruit than many others, slightly lower acidity too. The vintage clearly suited the Klaus vineyard well.
Very closed, very spicy, fermented on the lees, RS less than 1 gram, very individual style, impressive. Bottled under cork - they have now been able to source one that is certifiied biodynamic.
