In Reply to: How long should I allow a white wine to age? posted by rbhinla on July 29, 2001 at 22:59:22:
opinions will vary.
Quality is the key.
Personally, I've had too many disappointments when keeping a white wine, too long. Sauternes and vintage champagne aside, of course. Also, some dry semillon, will age beautifully for 10 yrs or more.For me, I love good quality whites (£8 to £20) at about 2/3 years old.
There are exceptions, but freshness and vitality are very important to a white wine.
Follow Ups:
Another white that is often overlooked that really demands aging for 15 years or more are the few bone dry high acid Loire chenins.I have had one that was well over 10 and was still young and fresh.I recently bought a 96 from Chenon that was way too tart and young.Similiar in style to the still wines of champagne as far as acid/fruit goes.I guess I have only had a few of those too.
