I wouldn't say not at all. In fact, it would be mostly true. For most wines, aging only deteriorates their flavor, particularly the fruit notes. Beaujolais producers famously marketed their products short shelf life by flying it across the Atlantic on the concord and rushing it to a Manhattan party by ambulance so it could be enjoyed at it's peak.

Beaujolais is the biggest joke the French have ever played on Europe. The Beaujolais run as its called in the UK is in fact a poorly kept secret by the French, it's their poor quality wine that has to be drunk quickly before it spoils. I don't consider that wine at all its worse than boxed wine and thats saying something.
