on top of the excellent answers already provided, I would point out that a lot of the value placed on certain vintages, meaning wine produced in a certain year, simply have to do with that being a great year for grapes. if you get a perfect mix of sun and rain one year then the wine will be nice. for years to come people will talk about how nice the wine was that year. it doesn’t matter how long it sits in the bottle, it was nice when it went in.
