Max,
Unfortunately, I do not know the above wines - but would LIKE to... Had a '76
Egon Mueller Auslese not that long ago, and it was probably the best Riesling
that I have ever tasted. I've been keeping several Germans from the 70's in
hopes that they will follow suit. Only caveat would be to allow these wines to
open up a bit in the glass. Don't judge any by "first whiff." Be prepared for
some major evolution, once poured. Be gentle and patient with them. Also,
please don't forget the TN's, when you do open them. Enjoy - but tell us all
about them.
