I never thought about that possibility, but minerality is definitely a generally positive descriptor for me. This article on the mystery of minerality is interesting: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m ... n17093915/

I believe that what most people call minerality is related to high acidity. Jamie mentions low pH as a factor in ageworthiness and I agree. So I think there is a link, but it's actually about the acidity.
