Do not have to many in the cellar however, is it true to assume twice the volume twice the cellaring potential.
The particular magnums in question are:
Lake's Folly 91 Cabernet.
Knappstein 98 Enterprise shiraz.
Brokenwood 02 Semillon.
Any constructive feedback greatly appreciated.
Magnum cellaring potential ?
Guest, I have the Enterprise Shiraz in 750ml format, I have it listed for peak drinking 2005-2007.
For an indication of some perhaps surprising longevity of wine in magnums, have a look at this post: http://www.auswine.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1111

Life's too short to drink white wine and red wine is better for you too! :-)

G'day Guest.
30/30 a good rule of thumb.
If a 750ml format takes 10 years to climb to it's maturation, a magnum will take 13. Incidentally, a pint or 375ml will in this case, climb to maturation in the quicker 7 year time frame.
Can't recall where or who pointed this out. It has already been disputed on the hallowed pages of Auswine!
