I had this c1976. With parents, brother and his girl friend, who had given up drinking. Once uncorked, it filled the room with a heavenly perfume and the girl friend changed her mind. Marvelous stuff. Despite youth, no tannic intrusion. $25 (but that is well over a C-note in today's currency). One of my all time favorites. 5 stars.

Sound, but unexciting. I have tasted several of the lower end Weil wines -- a 16 no name spatlese was nicer. The 19? no name spatlese also just a bit plain compared to some others at similar or marginally higher price levels. (Selbach Oster). At this level I don't think they deserve the rating they have in Johnson.

I bought two bottles -- one for New Year's 2000 and one for the millenial New Year. (It was highly touted c1999). It was quite nice, with biscuity character. Not fabulous. (Broadbent low to mid 4 stars, in my view). I have had only a couple of super Champagnes and I found them marginally or not better than a decent Brut.
