combination with Stilton the bitter tones, which are clearly tastable in
the finish due to the strong Botrytis, could be compensated very well.
I think, for most 1976er it's time to drink them soon. (Exceptions
confirm the rule.)"

It is a pleasure to receive tasting notes from Germany. I wish more were
given on this board, since I am quite fond of many German wines and have
collected them for years.

Yes, many 1976 wines need drinking soon. However I expect some wines of
the BA and TBA levels from some regions to last many more years, and
certain auslesen are likely to hold fairly well - the exceptions that
you mention. I would expect that Egon Muller's Scharzhofberger better
auslesen may last many more years, for example. On the other hand I had
a Steinberger 1976 auslese about a year ago that would have been better
a few years earlier.
