It is true that after seven or eight years the the wine is getting somewhat old, however certain types (Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA)) will actually improve with age and will be drinkable for a while. (One book suggests putting away a '76 or '71 TBA to drink with your great-grandchildren!) R. L. Platt cbscd5!rlp
