Wines that are fruity when young can be tricky. I have had some nearly 40 year old Zinfandel which still retained the characteristic Zin fruit, but it was an exquisitely balanced wine. I have also had 40 year old Zinfandel which might as well have been over the top Bordeaux ... utterly characterless. I have had 10 year old Zin from a famous and well-regarded maker, Zin that was absolutely delightful and very full fruited when young but which was tired and flaccid after just 10 years, but 10 year old Zins from the maker of the good 40 year old are still fresh and young.

As long as you don't go overboard, why not stick a few bottles in the cellar and pull one out once a year and see what it is like. If it starts to go flat or unappealing in any way, drink the rest, but if it is still good, then let it go a while longer. If you keep some notes, it might be educational!
