iso88591qRe:_Oldest_wine_you=B4ve_ever_bought=3F Nils Gustaf Lindgren as e=2E ht? is, 7, - All of my older wines were bought at auctions many years ago before the price of many such wines climbed into the stratosphere. The oldest is either a 1791 or 1809 Constantia. It could not be determined for certain which bin the bottle came from. My oldest true vintage Madeira is a 1827 Bual from Quinta do Serrado. My oldest Spanish wine is a Castillo Ygay Rioja 1925 from Marques de Murrieta. My oldest US wine is a 1968 Cabernet Sauvignon from Martin Ray. My oldest Port is chickenburn's 1908. The oldest Tokaj is a 1827 which may be either Essencia or Aszu-Essencia. The oldest Tokaji know to be true Essencia is my 1888 Baron Beust Tallya Negyalya Estate that was imported into the UK in 1938 by Berry Bros.The Italian is a 1964 Bertani Amarone. The oldest German is a 1949 Rauenthaler Baiken TBA from the state. The oldest French is a 1914 Clos de Gamot Cahors. The oldest Loire is Moulin Touchas 1949. The oldest Burgundy is DRC La Tache 1959. The oldest Bordeauxs are Ch. Latour 1945 and Ch. Mouton-Rothschild 1945. Age does not always correlate with value, however. My 1978, 1985, and 1990 Romanee-Conti likely would all bring more, often much more, at auction that the older wines mentioned above. A possible exception would be the 1945 Mouton, which could well bring as much, or more, than the Romanee-Conti at auction, depending on how much competing bidders wanted it..
