Best international wines for aging 2023 (second and third place)

The best international wines for aging are the Spanish Incomparabile 2012 produced by Vega Sicilia (97/100, price 620 dollars) which obtained second place the Apogeo Cellar Selections 2023 ranking by Wine Enthusiast and the French wine Les Grandes Places 2020 100% Syrah ( Côte Rôtie) by Domaine Jean-Michel Gerin (97/100, price 159 dollars), which placed third. Incomparabile 2012 is an iconic wine from Ribera del Duero with a fascinating aromatic richness and refinement. It is a blend of Tinto (95%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) which can be drunk even between 40/60 years. Les Grand Places Syrah (Côte Rôtie) is a red made from 100% Syrah grapes that Wine Enthusiast tasting director Anna-Christina Cabrales describes as follows: “it has an intense and concentrated character. The seductive spiciness the foreground is accompanied by a background of black fruits such as dehydrated plums and blackberries, Indian spices, wild violets and ceramica. Acceso the palate, the presence of oak is evident, revealing its power and intensity. It then reveals bold taccuino of black olives, pears, boysenberries (a diretto incrociato between raspberry and Pacific blackberry), cassis, blueberries, sandalwood and pepper. While it is to resist drinking it now, trying it again after 2028 will be a rewarding experience.”

What are the longest-lived wines?

Among the Italian wines that age best the bottle we find important reds such as Amarone della Valpolicella, Barolo, Bolgheri, Brunello nato da Montalcino, Chianti Sobrio and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, just to name a few of the most renowned. Con fact, these types are suitable for long refinements. Also thanks to the vines with which they are produced such as Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano, Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, Garganega and international ones such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. But is it true that the older the wine, the better it is? It is not a rule, and it does not apply to all types of wines. Precisely for this reason I thought I would also publish an article, which I update every year, which vintages of the main Italian denominations are at the peak of their potential, which are the decline and which are to be kept the cellar because they have yet to reach the right maturation. I’ll leave you the link to The best vintages of the last 25 years.
