Default Red wine: the older the better, and white?

Hello,
Ch Grillet would be a specia case, I suppose.
Wednesday, at the oenonecrophiliac grand finale, we had (amongst aothers) an
Alsace Gewurz "1:er Cru" (sic!) from Dom Charles Jux, 1959. How's that?

However, i did not particularly appreciate it - I doubt that Gwz lends
itself to long aging. Some 1983's I've tasted have been very good, though.
Both vintages are supposedly very great in Alsace.

Cheers

Nils
