1727 RUDESHEIMER APOSTELWEIN
Rüdesheimer Apostelwein--Vintage 1727
Rheingau. Ratskeller Bremen
Lot 476 believed pre-20th century bottling, lot 477 believed 20th century bottling
This wine is drawn from the famous Bremen Ratskeller which, from time to time, is topped up by young Rüdesheim wine of a good vintage. The large volume of old wine is thus kept refreshed.
Tasting note: This can justifiably claim to be the oldest drinkable wine in the world. Several consistent notes: palish amber-straw; bouquet rather like an apply old sherry; fairly dry, flavour of toasted old straw, tolerable acidity. M.B.
