Yes, simple wine can age well but it’s hard to find if you don’t cellar it yourself. Two more important exceptions:
Coudoulet de Beaucastel, 1988 ($29) – From one of the Southern Rhone’s best traditional producers, this 20+ year old wine will forever change your view of Cotes du Rhone.
Calabretta, Etna Rosso, 1999 ($26) – From Sicily’s most elegant DOC, this is drinking like a gracefully aged Piedmontese red.
