In my view, the concept of maturity is a little bit misleading. What is true is that the wine changes all the time during storage. Asking an old vintner which was best - a young wine or an old one, he shrugged and told me: Some love the daughter, others the mother... Both have an unique identity... :-) However - it is also true that many wines, notably red wines of some class from Bordeaux or Italy, for instance, go through a phase of sleeping at about 6-10 years of age.
