I've only just noticed the article on the 25-year-old sylvaner bought at The Winery in London. This bottle lay in my cellar with several others from the mid-1990s until I sold them to The Winery last year. There were originally a dozen or so. I can't remember where I bought them originally, but I do know that they were extremely cheap, having been written off as duds by the wine merchant. Over the years, whenever I opened one to taste it I could never get past the smell of potato peel, which to me was unappetising. So I'm thrilled to read that others have found so much pleasure in the wine and to discover its history.
