As far as "noble" grapes holding on, that's a bit trickier. Some zinfandels for example, age really well. Then again. some don't age more than three years and you're POd that you hadn't finished them sooner. But a lot of it has to do with the winemaking and with the grapes the winemaker got from his vineyard or vineyards. For example, I've had some cheap cabs that I wouldn't bet on for six months, much less a number of years. However, as pointed out, some of them can age for decades. Some of that may have to do with the barrel or tank aging that they receive before bottling, but that's an entirely different thread issue. Amarone is another one you could look at, although they tend to become pricey really fast. Incidentally, they're not made from Valpolicella, which is a region. The grapes are corvina, rondella, molinara. The 2004 Brunello is supposed to be everyone's favorite vintage, but personally I'd wait for the 2006s to come out. Oddly enough, the wine I would not recommend stashing away would be fortified wines, especially Port. It's not that they won't age. Quite the opposite. But their pricing is really screwy. You can pick up aged Ports for around the same price you pay for a young one. They are some of the best deals out there. So if you can do that, why tie up your capital? Buy things that are harder to find. People don't really drink a lot of Port these days, so it's a buyers market to a large extent    (hide)

  Really most noble grapes can sit for a good decade. Nebbiolo based Italian reds, Amarone mad with valpolicella, and any sturdy Bordeaux like St. Estephe, St. Julien, Margaux, Paulliac, etc. Good American cabs or bordeaux blends can stand up to time too. Reds are a far safer bet... Read moreReally most noble grapes can sit for a good decade.

Reds are a far safer bet than whites because those vary so much and it's always iffy unless you really know the type, region and producer. Sweet or fortified whites are the exception. Just my two cents!    (hide)
