What is the oldest GV you've tasted?

While visiting the Wachau, I picked up a bottle of Domaene Wachau Gruener Veltliner 1977 from their tasting room but haven't tried it yet. It certainly wasn't a great vintage -but it's my birth year (and only 40 Euro), so I couldn't resist! I've always liked the co-op and they're one of the best QPR producers in Austria. My boss has had bottles from the '37 and '42 vintages (I didn't ask which producer) and said that they didn't pick up any of the kerosene/diesel/petrol flavors I'm so fond of in older Riesling. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks
