GOLDEN OLDIES

For big reds like Bordeaux’s Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, structure and tannin are key factors to ageability; while for lighter reds like Pinot Noir (a seemingly delicate, ethereal wine), acidity, depth and overall balance allow for long life, especially in wines from premier cru sites in Burgundy. For white wines, the naturally high acidity in grapes like a Mosel Riesling or a Burgundian Chardonnay makes all the difference. Some of the most famously ageable wine regions are Bordeaux, Burgundy, Mosel, Rhône, Champagne, Rioja, Piedmont, Barossa Valley and South Africa. AGRAMONT GRAN RESERVA 2015 DO Navarra, Spain Made with Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a bouquet of black currant, pomegranate, baking spice and coffee. A web of silky tannins encases flavors of black cherry, blackberry preserves, milk chocolate, aniseed, marjoram and lavender that endure into a pleasing finish.
