 Tasted by ptvie on 11/11/2020 & rated 95 points: 35 years old, but still has some freshness, amazing structure complexity and concentration (963 views)
 Tasted by humagne on 10/18/2015 & rated 93 points: Fresh, vibrant. The nose is complex, presents a new profile at every sniff. Has still fresh acidity, good concentration, long finish. Excellent wine. (2485 views)
 Tasted by hcl-1 on 6/21/2013: Irgendwie hat er eine fruchtige, etwas säurebetonte Frische, dann wieder deutliche Alterungsnoten und leichten Essigansatz, er kann sich nicht so recht entscheiden (das gilt laut meiner Freundin auch für den Geruch, der ebenfalls zwischen fruchtig/interessant und sauer/alt wechselt). Der Korken war von allen der stabilste. Keine Bewertung, da der Wein eindeutig zu alt ist. (3005 views)
 Tasted by hcl-1 on 5/29/2013: Diese Flasche war deutlich besser, was nicht heisst, dass es eine wirklich gute Erfahrung war. Es war aber noch Frucht vorhanden und wenn die Säure nicht etwas zu sehr dominiert hätte, wäre er durchaus lecker gewesen. So war es immerhin erstaunlich, dass ein Weisswein der 27,5 Jahre alt ist noch einigermaßen gut in Schuss ist. Eine Benotung erscheint trotzdem sinnlos, in diesem Zustand würde er wohl nur 78 Punkte bekommen, was seinem Zustand nach dieser langen Zeit nicht gerecht werden würde. (2987 views)
 Tasted by hcl-1 on 3/29/2013 flawed bottle: Über mehrere Tage getrunken, schwankte er stark zwischen einem starken Säuregeschmack der schon an Essig erinnerte und einem alten Pouilly-Fume, der zwar noch Anflüge von Frucht und Säure zeigte und trinkbar war (was man von dem anderen Zustand nicht wirklich sagen kann), aber auch keinen Sturm der Begeisterung entfachen konnte. Eine Benotung erscheint hier sinnlos. (3002 views)
 Tasted by Brad L on 6/29/2007: I thought this was excellent and really was taken aback. I didn't know what to expect. Maybe it was just low expectations but it was great. Aftershave like, ashy, with a subtly shifty nose. Skimmed the line of too old but in the end I didn't think so at all. A little thin in the mouth but this did not fade at all over the evening which surprised me a lot. I usually compare wines with other wines but I had a hard time with an analogue for this.
