- SGohn - 02-24-2000 I have a very small collection of reds and ports...How long should I wait to enjoy some of the following? Is there a good source of information where I can gather information... 1996 - Benzinger - Merlot 1996 - Leasingham (Bin 61) - Shiraz 1997 - Frog's Leap - CS 1984 - Warre's Late Bottled Vintage - Port 1997 - Ojai Vineyard - Syrah - Bucko - 02-24-2000 1996 - Benzinger - Merlot Now and over the next 3-4 years 1996 - Leasingham (Bin 61) - Shiraz Same 1997 - Ojai Vineyard - Syrah Same 1997 - Frog's Leap - CS Now and over the next 6-7 years 1984 - Warre's Late Bottled Vintage - Port Now and for many years to come Bucko - SGohn - 02-24-2000 Bucko, Thanks for the quick reply! Are there any "rules" or "guidelines" for aging wine? S - Bucko - 02-25-2000 Yes, there are no rules..... track record is the most important thing to me. There are a lot of generalities, but no hard and fast rules. For instance, Zin "should be drank within 5 years" but I am drinking 12-14 y/o Ridge Geyserville. It is track record. |
