  Organic & biodynamic. I am not sure of the reasoning behind someone giving this an end drinking date of 2023 but in my humble opinion, this is currently in its peak drinking window. Although I will admit to quite enjoying youthful rieslings, in my experience, Josmeyer rieslings are especially interesting (and rewarding) to hold onto for multiple years and this is no exception. Very enjoyable but nevertheless, I probably wouldn't push holding it past 2025-2026.

  Litt atypisk alsace-nese med mint/kamfersminket druepreg, hint av røyk, fyldig og virker tyngre enn 12,5% skulle tilsi. Tung, mørk floraltone. Mørk floral. Hint av mineraler. Her kunne man tatt veldig feil blindt, floralpreget kunne minne om hvit rhone og semillon. Smaken er best, intens munnfølelse og syre. Aromatisk upresis
