Twenty years ago, one of the questions I got asked most was, "How long do you think this wine will age before I drink it?"
That was then. For about the last two decades, almost no one has asked me. The only reason I can give for this is that people didn't really care about aging wine, which appears to be reflected in the way most red wines have been made since the mid-1990s. (Very few white wines are made to be aged.)
So, I was taken aback recently when someone asked, "Will this wine age?" The question seems to be making a comeback. And a few more wines are being made to be aged.
