  BYOB HT14#2; 10/12/2014-10/13/2014: #BYOB - This stood out as an odd ball in the white flight. Much lower acidity on the palate with a round, almost oily full body and lacking slightly in the intensity compartment. There is distinct Riesling aromas on the nose, apples, pears, redcurrants, mushrooms and a good portion of petro-chem.
  
  I would love to say I enjoyed this as I've tasted some of Josmeyers stuff before and loved it, but tonight this is not good enough. Side by side with some lovely white burgundies this just feels flabby and unfocused.

  This wine has always been a pleasure to drink but I think it has now reached the perfect drinking state for me. It's nicely developed and shaped up with more complexity for a wine that was quite fruit forward in its youth. For me there's no reason to hold back with my remaining bottles.
  
  Deep lemon-yellow colour. On the nose it's quite fragrant with developed, savoury notes. Right after opening the bottle there was quite pronounced petrol scent but after a while that disappeared and was replaced by this waxy, surprisingly complex array of aromas. Below there was some fruity aromas (white currants) left as well. The palate is rich and dry with not many primary flavours left. Concentrated and, once again, pleasantly complex. Nice, round acidity. Longish aftertaste.

  jag tycker mineraligt, med lite citrusskal i eftersmaken gott till våra ingerfäriska tigerräkor

  Pure dry Riesling, good acidity, a bit young but fresh, delicious and easy to appreciate

  Very good. Fresh and racy nose, clean, pure, primary aromas (lime-peel, grapefruit) but lots going on here. On the palate fruity and mineral, very dry, lovely acidity, the kind of wine you can drink lots of it...easy but serious enough.
