There's the germ of a discussion worth having.

I don't have much experience with aging these wines but I remember tasting the 1995 version of this Brundlmayer ZH Auslese in 2006, being very impressed with the result, and thinking to myself that it would be worth pursuing for my own cellar:
1995 Brundlmayer Zobinger Heiligenstein Auslese
This starts off yellow crisp and stalky, although with air some rich spicy honey notes emerge which Steve and Jim don’t particularly find advantageous. In contrast I do find this quite advantageous for putting in my mouth, with lovely crisp riesling character but also firm bulging riesling fruit character, and then the funky aging riesling character. Such darn overall pleasure.

Fine idea! Although I'm sure there's more than enough Austrian wine for everyone..
I have a few bottles myself, although no 95s at the moment..
