- Most of the wines are not made for ageing and will not become better time, however there are certain wine regions and wine producers, who can create wines that can be aged for many years and even decades. This is my third video on great age-worth red wines (wine regions). Check out my previous video on five great age-worthy red wines:

Uruguay has some fantastic tannat, at a price point even lower than Madiran. Not easy to find in Europe and the US, but I highly recommend
I agree, only few times have I tried them, because, yes, hard to find in Europe. But value wise - great wines! 🍷
Red Wine is Romantic and Lovely 🍷🌹
Very well produced, full of knowledge and info . Thank you.
No, thank You for the comment and giving me the energy to motivation to continue! 🙏🏻🍾✨ Cheers! 🥂
Was about to type you should do a video on age worthy white wines but then I stopped myself, researched your channel and find you already made one! 👍
But there are a lot of more wines I can mention. Maybe I should make another one.. 🤷♀️
@@NoSediment Next time please mention Jura, especially vin Jaune.
Big ups to coonawarra. It’s not as trendy as Margaret River (nor as beautiful) but the wines there have character and are delicious to boot!
As told You, I have never been there 😖😖😖 so I don’t know. But.. I have read stories, that .. yes, it is not the picturesque winemaking region. But I truly enjoy their wines! 🍷
Agree that Coonawarra is not a travel destination but some great beaches and seafood not far away.
Yet another informative and cut-to-the-chase video. Congratulations! Thank you for dedicating some minutes of this video to my favorite grape: Tannat, which I believe deserves a video of its own :). My favorite Tannat wines are from Uruguay: “Juan Carrau” and “Isla de Lobos”. Both are deep and strong wines and can age quite nicely and are not crazy expensive. Cheers!
Screenshot made for the producers You suggested! 🙏🏻 thank You! Yes, I agree, Tannat is underrated and can produce great wines, I think it is the tannins that sometimes people are afraid off!🤷♀️
Thanks for your reply, Agnes... I forgot to mention another great Tannat wine from Uruguay: "Gazón". Ciao!
I think you should also look a bit at South African wines. I had some of the best wines in the world and not a lot of wines compete with Stellenbosch wines in South Africa, and it's well priced.
I agree, they provide great wines for an amazing value! 👍👍👍
Another great video. For the fourth in this series, you need to include Sagrantino, which seldomly approachable to drink, for the first 8-10 years, but becomes almost magical after that. Arnaldo Caprai is the producer to watch.
I had the pleasure of attending a Masterclass with Wynn´s last year, when they came to Copenhagen. Really beautiful wines, great structure. They actually have wines, dating back to the 1950´s, and every ten years, they do a vertical tasting, of all vintages available. If you at some point, want to get more into Australian wines, I´m personally friends with Penfolds Nordic Brand Manager.
Big fan of Aglianico, and agree that this is a very overlooked grape variety.
Only tried Madiran once, but it was definitely memorable.
I love Northern Rhône wines, with Cote Rotie as my favourite. I love how it developes, especially getting smoky and bacon-y.
Rioja wines are really age-worthy, I have a 1994 vintage of Castillo de Mendoza Reserva, at my store, which is elegant, playful and youthful.
Yes, great suggestion, I should definitely mention Sagrantino. But to be completely honest, I don’t have access to many Sagrantino wines. 🥺 and sounds like You have great friends and have been to very memorable tastings! Cheers to that! ✨🥂
Well done, Agnes this a useful and fun video and thanks for highlighting some of the lesser know red/black cultivars. Aglianico is a great varietal pretty old from what I've heard going back to Roman times, possibly. I do agree that most wines are not build or designed for long term aging, though I do have to say I generally enjoy red wine 4-6 years and white wines 1-2 years after they go in the bottle. This is very subjective and as I age I seem to enjoy wines with secondary and tertiary flavors in addition to primary fruit flavors.
I recently had a conversation with a very prominent wine writer and he said that he really enjoys fresh wines a lot. Those that show beautiful fruit. Therefore, we can discuss wines ageing potential, but as You said, it really depends on our preferences as well. And despite the fact that these wines can age, we don’t necessarily need to age them for 10 or more years, but instead open and enjoy when we feel like! 🍷
Great content as always. WELL DONE 🤣
Thank You! 🍾
Love the video! Do you have the names of the wines written anywhere on here? TY!
Thank You! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Unfortunatelly I haven’t done that, but I guess it would make sense, since You are not the first one to ask. Thank You for the tip. 🙌
Aware the video is for Red wines, but Hunter Valley (Australia) Semillon is an unique white wine style that requires a minimum of 20 years to really appreciate just how complex it can be. Remarkably cheap in the context on release, or cellar aged. Well worth a look at.
Hi, great, GREAT addition. And I think I have added it to my age worthy white wine video! 😉
Bought two bottles of the Vignobles Marie Maria Greviere Madiran 2018. Showed a ton of Brett but was good.
That sounds about right, I can imagine that some of these wines could show a lot of brett. Hopefully, there are other wines without it. 🤨
I think I'm good as long as I can let it sit on the shelf for 2-5 years if I want. Sometimes I just like having some bottles on the shelf as a decoration I can crack open on a rainy day.
That is very reasonable. I have spoken with many wine professionals who say that they actually like wines better when they are young. There is a lot of appeal in the fresh fruits in young wines! 🍷
Love my northern Rhone syrah. With Hermitage and Cote-Rotie out of my league, as well as your thoughts on St Joseph, I'd also be curious for your thoughts on Crozes-Hermitage which seems to be raising its game? Any you really rate as an affordable alternative to their more prestigious neighbours?
I do like Northern Rhone Syrah as well. And I plan to make more videos about Rhone in general in the future. But meanwhile please check Francois Villard Crozes-Hermitage, I think he makes really beautiful wines. 🍷✨
Love your wealth of knowledge and these are really 5 amazing regions but mind you, they really need to dabble in wood for that 20+ aging. Rioja Joven (new wine) don't see the inside of a wood barrel and don't last more than 10 years without getting less of that luscious red fruit.
I am sorry, I might have not explained myself well. I didn’t mean the Joven wines for the Rioja, but wines that are aged in oak, but do not use local ageing classification. Sorry for that. 🫡 BUT for Your argument … there are many Rieslings that have never seen the oak and will age gracefully for more than 10 years easily. 😉
Great and useful video. Thank you. Usually wines from Aurtalia,South Africa, Chile, Spain, Portugal, Italy wines are at least 13°. Is it right ? i only drink red wine from time to time and i always choose those wines.
If You mean alcohol, then yes! But also France and Germany and Austria have 13% and more of alcoholic strength. Below that is difficult to find nowadays. 😅 I recently tasted Pinot Noir from Japan though, with 11.7%! 👀
@@NoSediment Thank you so much. I didn't know that Japan also made wine, good whisky yes . Take care and advise us more about wine (in French, they call it Nectar des Dieux)
I dont know how Saint Joseph is ranked in term of price in North America, but in France good Saint Joseph open you the door in northen Rhône valley at price around 20/25€.
So around half the price of côte rôtie that easely reach 50+€ .
Great value for money its my go to northen Rhône wine.
In general, it should be more affordable than the other neighbouring notable appellations around, yes! One just needs to invest more time into exploring the area! 🍷
Im in Adelaide South Australia in case you come around
😃
I actually hope to visit very soon! 🙏🏻
I am always surprised that Coonawarra is not more appreciated outside of Australia. Even cheaper wines reward cellaring
Yes, I agree. It is quite well known amongst wine professionals, but even then not widely appreciated. 😣
Can you share your experience with timing the drinking window of age worthy wines? Some say the long aging ones are likely go into a closed phase at 10 years old then will not reopen until maybe 15. It is not always feasible to buy a couple of bottles to experiment with timing.
If the wine is 10 yrs old, is it safer to open it 4-5yrs later?
If You want my complete honest opinion, drinking windows are way, way overrated. There are some wines that can shut down for a while, I have experienced it, but it is really rare and majority of wines (the age worthy ones) are ready to be drunk at 10years. 😉
I am biased, obviously but I think Saperavi has super potential for aging, beyond other things. I think Saperavi will become international grape variety soon enough 😊
It could become, I agree! And I agree that it does have a great aging potential. Indeed I should include it in my next video! 😉
I come for the wine, but I stay for the doggy
My dogo sends thanks! 🐕
Isn't it a tragedy to find out, that there are no signs of wine development after 30 years of aging? Everything (purchase, cellaring, expectations) was absolutely pointless! I have never had Tannat, but after such an “advertisement” I am leaning toward avoiding those wines as life is too short for them.
Well, if we assume that it is good that wine retains fruit vs looses it all to oxidation, I think that is the greatest deal one can get. It means You can buy that wine from the 90ties and know FOR SURE it will not be goner. It will be nice to drink! 🤗🙌 I think it is awesome!
@@NoSediment Knowing that wine is not changing while being cellared for 30 years, then what's the point of waiting or paying the premium? Just buy the recent vintage and we are equally good!
I think You have missed the point about the wine ageing in general. What makes wine good for ageing is the fact that it can withstand these years, that it doesn’t die, not the fact that it is changing. The fact that the wine is changing means that it is heading towards point of vinegar. And we want to catch it and enjoy it before it becomes one. Therefore higher value is the fact that wine can retain its fruit. And yes, some wines become more complex as they develop in the bottles, and I also love those wines. But with Madiran the great thing is that if You open 30yo old bottle and it is still filled with fresh fruit. How cool is that? And more so, currently You never pay premium for those wines, at their 30yo of age or when they are young. It is very affordable. 😉
@@NoSedimentWell, despite my promise not to buy wines made of Tannat (due to their overly long maturation period), I still decided to try some already-ready ones. So, since there are not many options available, I bought the 1985 (regular) and the 1995 (cuvee prestige) from Château Montus. The former was already way over its prime (or was stored suboptimally, or just a bad bottle), however, the latter turned out to be a marvelous, highly aromatic wine, still with some tannic structure and notable acidity left. So, never say never - lesson learned!
Both of these wines had one thing in common. And that was an interesting note in the aroma bringing back my childhood memories of Riga Circus, and more specifically - the elephants and their poop! Already stepping into the building, that scent unmistakably gave a clue about what animals we would see today. In the wine that note wasn't unpleasant by any means - on the contrary, the vague presence of it added a unique property everyone liked so much. So, I would ask you, do you understand what scent I am trying here to describe, and does the wine terminology have some, more appropriate term for it?
No reason to buy wines more than 30$. There are many quite good at this price tag. Mighty Barolo? really? The king of wines? Really? Barolo are rarely enjoyable. my opinion
Nebbiolo is my favourite wine, and I love it. It is so unique, and will rarely make fruit bombes. It always offers something extra, earthy and mushroomy flavours, quite complex.
