Jon,
I've bought Borsao since I think the 1999. I've never tried to age ,
because I've never seen the need (tannins are generally light, and
wine in a fruit forward style). I've had bottles with a couple years
cellar time, they seemed fine but not neccessarily better. I'd just
suggest buying a few (or one!) and just trying. If you think there's
potential for improvement, lay down a couple- and report in a few
years!
