I have no expertise at all in what I'm saying, and what I'm about to say could actually be blowing out a nether orifice, but don't most "wine competition" wines tend to be quite young (relatively speaking) where the tannin structure changes significantly over time once exposed to air? This effect would not affect most of your cellar
