Shiraz 2003

[Innkeeper]

That's good advice. Another authority, Andrea Immer, author of a half dozen good tomes (all in my library), says: "95% of all wine in the world is approachable on release." So, just worry about the other 5%. This holds true even when you get real serious about wine. Of the ten cases I maintain, three are in the "aging" process. That does not mean 30% though. Those three cases age out over ten years, and the other seven cases turn over four or five times per year. You do the math, but I think that comes pretty close to the 95% mark.
