Maturity of wine

[Bucko]

DW, don't even go there my friend. No one, I repeat, NO ONE can reliably predict ageability of wine IMHO. I have seen many "experts" predict over the years and fall flat on their face. I've drank highly rated wines that were dead after 15 years and drank lowly wines that were still kicking after 40 years (an example being the 1955 Martini drank in 1995). Yes, many wines have known track records for aging -- you are pretty safe with those, but you can even get burned with them on occasion.
