If you are given the choice between two wines and all you know is that one is from young vines and the other is from old vines, which would you choose? Wines made from old vines attract attention because they come from vines that can be older than the oldest person at the table. The age of the vineyard may lead one to assume that the wine must be of high quality, but the fact that it is made from an old vineyard does not mean that the wine always has to be good.
