I think you must mean the current, since I don't recall Erwin every commenting on the original Voigtlander lens. About the new one I believe he and others have said that it is better (I suppose meaning sharper and contrastier, esp wide open) than the current Summilux. On the other hand, some Luggers have complained about its bokeh (I think John Brownlow sold his for that reason). Hans Pahlen's got a shot or two on his sight in which he points out the bokeh of that lens as being harsh and unpleasant. And that's pretty much all I've heard about that lens. I'd love to know more about the original Nokton but have seen no info on it anywhere.
