Biodynamic is certainly more complicated and sophisticated which means more work to do for the producer. Of course it doesn't mean it is 'better' than organic or non-bio. There might be sort of marketing buzz involved in this new approach but personally, I admire organic producers who have decided to go through this still controversial 'challenge' and try to make better(according to their belief in it) wine.

Anders, completely agree with you. Why make biodynamic a special category? Perhaps it should be the other way around where wines that aren't organic be have a special category?

It's time to speak about wine and not chemical grapes juice!
They bring more fruit freshness they are more drinkable... less sulfites it's organic!

Why do Decanter promote biodynamic wines as a special category? What makes them more special than organic wines? Do you think they have organoleptic features that separates them in anyway from other wines.
To me it's like rating ”organic wines with funny labels”.
