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:

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.
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.
Very well produced, full of knowledge and info . Thank you.
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.
Bought two bottles of the Vignobles Marie Maria Greviere Madiran 2018. Showed a ton of Brett but was good.
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!
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 😊
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.
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.
Great content as always. WELL DONE 🤣
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.
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?
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.
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! 👍
I gotta try that French Tannat, I only had Uruguayan Tannat so far. Thanks so much for the 411 about it.
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!
Wine is Very Classy and Elegant
