Influential wine lovers’ publication Wine Enthusiast has come up with a list of top 100 wines that promise to age into lush rich wines — so long as consumers resist the urge to open them immediately.

Pointing out that 80 percent of wines purchased are consumed within 48 hours, editors compiled a list dubbed Cellar Selections 2012 — bottles that should be destined for the wine cellar for future sipping.
