The Winexpert 2005 Product Guide has the following minimum ageingsuggestions for their red wines: Vintners Reserve 2 months, Selection Original and Intermational Series 3-6 months, and Selection Estate Series 6-9 months. Why is there so much variation in the suggested ageing times?

Solids! The VR kits are all concentrate, while the Selection kits have a blend of juice and concentrate. During the concentration process, some of the solids are lost. With the fresh juice added, you get more solids, therefore more aging potential.
The concentration process is necessary for shelf life.
