I was gifted a bottle of "Turning Leaf" 2006 vintage. It's a German red wine. It's a pinot noir to be exact. I don't know anything about wines so I was wondering if it would benefit from age? Do all wines benefit from age? Do some get worse with age?
Usually, red wines are the ones that are aged. A lot of time, the aging is done in the vats, so when you get a bottle, it is ready for consumption.
I bought a bottle of Baco Noir a couple of years ago. The vintner told me to let it age a few years, and it will taste better. So, I bought 2 bottles. One I consumed right away, and the other is down in my wine cabinet.... until 2011.
It really is up to you, if you want to let it sit for another couple of years, or open it now and enjoy it. Either way it's going to be fine to drink.
When it comes to white wines, it's usually best to consume them within a few months of buying them. Aging doesn't do anything for them.
Also, if you choose to let it alone for a while, be sure to store it properly. Keep it lying on it's side, to keep the cork wet. A dried out cork will allow air in and it will turn the wine to vinegar.
