The real question - and this is not just dN or CamX wines but a lot of ‘modern’ wines - is HOW these will age over time. Will they truly ‘evolve’ as wines of ‘yesteryear’ did or simply ‘soften’ a bit as the fruit subsides? I’ve been amazed to read how many 20+ year old Napa wines have remained nearly ‘just like new’ year after year - and this is definitely due to more modern winemaking techniques and ‘tricks of the trade’ . . .
I opened up a 1965 Charles Krug Napa Cab a few weeks back from one of my bros’ birthdays and it was magical in the way that older wines can evolve - truly curious whether we will continue to see that ‘evolution’ in many modern wines . . .
Cheers
