Lovely, waxy, beautiful balance.

Really beautiful, some Firne, elegant.
Has finesse but is drying out.
Acidity is relatively low, but much better than the * Auslese and will last longer.
Getting on, relatively dry style.
Wonderful finesse, peachy, at peak.
Livelier acidity than the 1985, beautiful style.
Has aged beautifully, lovely acidity.
Very good, in good shape, well-balanced, still sweet.
Old, volatile and dry.

Healthy but with firm 1952 tannins, a bit hard.
Feminine, smooth, lovely 1953-style.
Smooth and delicate wine.
Very lively, not bad at all, a nice suprise.
Sound but old, drying.
A survivor, light but flavoursome, balanced and delicious.
Quite nice, lovely aroma, a touch acidic.
Warm Pinot fragrance, correct flavour.
Well integrated oak, elegant, sweet 1999-fruit, good tannins.
Lovely and characteristic nose, a bit edgy on the palate.
Warm, lots of oak, good in its way but not really my style.
