| This is odd. Gewurtztraminer and chardonnay are two of the wines best drunk
| young, from what I have read.

And yet the oldest wine that Michael Broadbent ever drank, if I recall
correctly, was a Riesling from the late 1700's ( I can't find my copy of
his book, and Riesling is not Gewurz, but a similar family of wines,
particularly in Alsace.) In short, Stony Hill Rocks.
