I do age a few select wines.

My point has always been that wines made in the "new" style, for the most part, don't require extensive aging.
And that's the point of the editorial response. Current Italian wines and such aren't made, for good or bad, like they were 40 years ago. Thus the loss in complexity for more approachable wines.
Thanks for reminding me. I'd forgotten about the "Parker Effect".
By the way, starting to get all that wine in that I've ordered over the year. I'll let you know if I have any finds. Our heat has made it impossible to ship.
