No, quite the contrary. Aging on lees often improves mouth feel, the color of white wines and overall wine quality, so experienced winemakers often bulk age on the lees. But, lees can decompose and cause problems with off odors. Careful attention is needed, so novice winemakers are often advised to rack off the lees promptly. lum
