unrelenting Likes this wine: 95 points
May 5, 2020 - In my 20 years of wine, I have yet to find a better value. $18 for a wine that had evolved over 9 years, wow! It's now highly oxidized but, likely because of the high acidity, it's still quite fresh and has at least a year of peak drinking left. The complexity is massive and the finish is respectable (hits the front palate modestly).
The oxidized palate is not for the neophyte but, for those that like aged white Burg, please add this to your collection and thank me in 10 years.
This was my inaugural year, after which time I have been buying most years. I frankly forgot about these bottles but now that I know the ageability of this wine, I'm not going to not touch the newer vintages.

Its probably most impressive to the uninitiated at age 4-6. Save 8+ year old bottles for the initiated. You wouldn’t open a Grand Cru white burg for a Rombauer gulper.
