age, some don't. A good salesperson at a wine store can often be a help, as can the 'shelf talker' that is often hanging there telling you about the wine.

Barring that, a number of wine review sites will say something like "Drink now" or "Drink between 2020 and 2024" or "Should age well for 12 years" or something like that.

While aging in oak before bottling is not a NECESSITY for a wine to age, it's generally more likely that you can age an wine that spent time in oak.

Finally, price can provide a clue. Something very inexpensive can be quite good, but isn't likely to hold up for years.
