@foxy01 The grape in the Alfa wine is supposed to be great.
The Alpha Reserve Old Vines is already pretty good upon release (after 4-5 years in a barrique) and from pretty old vines back then (80-90 years).
after another 10+ years bottled up in a cellar it got pretty close to some of the top Italian reds. unique grape variety as well.I prefer the Alpha Reserve over their top tier release - much better value for money.

@FOXY Never had an aged Riesling myself but I do really like a nice mineraly Riesling so I am pretty jealous of that one
Less jealous of the sherry vinegar...
I can imagine some of those '99s will be excellent, so hope you enjoy
Good dry Rieslings can be amazing for the reasons you mentioned - crisp, mineral/minerality and the wet, damp stone cellars.
with some of the Ahr and Mosel GG's you can get some really big cinema if you let them sit for a decade or two. but those need some grape sugars to get there.

is into Chateau Musar
I used to drink a lot of the red in the early/mid nineties when it was an absolute bargain.....

@Giles only became aware of them in the mid 2000’s…
Good thing is that there are lots great, younger vineyards in Europe with decent bottles in the €10-20 price bracket.
The odd thing in the UK and Scotland is that I can’t find a decent wine shop or merchant - it’s terrible supermarket stuff or stiff-upper-lip, prestigious labels stuff only. Very little in between.
