I am looking for 2020 vintage wines that will drink well in 2041.
TIA
Are you wanting 2020 vintage because it’s a celebratory year? Well, I’d imagine some champagnes, barolos, burgundys, bordeauxs, etc. yet to be released will be good 2020 vintages. I may be wrong for thinking this, but I don’t think 2020 vintage wines that can be purchased RIGHT now are showing the best.
I accept that I’m most likely wrong since there easily could be California producers making 2020 wines that are big bold and can last 20 more years. I’m mostly thinking about wine regions that require 3 years of aging before current release of the wine.
… when in doubt port is a good option.
Almost anything you buy will be good to drink in 2041.
We need more information to give you better response.
Thanks Bill. I am looking for wines that will age well even if not released yet.
What information can I provide you so I get better response?
Type of wine you are looking for.
Country, region, varietal, flavor profile, maybe some samples of wines you already like so we can base it off that. Cost per bottle. Good start with those info
Right now many fine champagne house’s current releases are 2012 and are drinking incredibly young.
There are a few things I look for in a wine for aging
Tannins
Acidity
Sugar Content
Alcohol Content
The higher tannins, acidity, and sugar a wine has the more age worthy it becomes. High alcohol can be volatile when not talking about fortified wines.
The wines are for a family member who was born in 2020. Currently she likes everything I have shared with her 
Country, region, varietal — US - Sonoma, Napa, Paso, France - Rhone, Italy - Tuscany and Piedmont, Portugal.
I am really open to anything in the $50-$500 range.
I love old CdP, Barolo, BdM. But it is a gift for a young person right now.
TIA

Personally, if I’d love a 2020 Latour, but there is a lot out there I think would be considered age worth. Napa had a good growing season for 2020, so I think anything high end from there would be fine. Bordeaux had a good 2020 year, but lower yield. Your heart seems to be in the right place and I think and of those you listed would be 100% fine by 2041 on their 21st birthday.
Thank you!

If you have a local wine shop go there and maybe see what they have and ask them that question… then come back here and post their suggestions and we’ll give them a thumbs up or down 
Quick things that comes to mind
Gaja, sassicaia, heitz marthas vineyard, allemand, soldera, bernard faurie, sloan, vhr, opus one (some ppl like it, some thinks it is overrated)
Along with the Riesling recommendation Domaine Huet Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie Vouvray 2020 should be awesome with age.
Good grief. I would like to be alive in 2041 but doubt I’ll be drinking much as I would be 94.
I’ve bought a decent bit of Huet for our wedding vintage. I have high hopes for the long run
German Riesling for sure.

What could be more appropriate for 2020? https://www.hindsightwines.com
There are people who don’t find Opus One overrated? Who you drinking with?

The podcast Somm and Sommer love that wine. Their tastes is a bit strange for me. I don’t agree with a lot of their recs, but I still listen to because there aren’t many wine podcasts and work is slow.
