It's a special treat because it was bottled on-site. Our wedding bottle is coming to an end today. Unfortunately, there have been better hand-filled wines, but this is quite a treat. At 16 years, it's still very strong, but with water, it can be brought to a very nice level where it tastes really good again. Not 90 points, but close. €200 is a bit on the high side, but it was still an experience.
