Subject: [Leica] Is a leica lens like a Bordeaux wine ?

I am new to this list and I have a question.
I have the opportunity to buy a second hand (but in excellent condition)
a Summicro 2.0 M. The only problem is that the lens is about 25 years
old.
How does it compare with a new Summicron M 2.0 ?

Are Leica lenses like Bordeaux Wines (older = better) or should I better
buy a more recent lens ?

Thank you for your answers.
Regards
 Christian Payot
