What's the phrase for things that (seem to) get better with age?

For example:
JJ Abrams Star Trek is to TNG as Lucas's prequels were to Star Wars.

Best Answer

Things are often said to improve with age.

Headline from the March 2nd USA Today: "Like a fine wine, brain can improve with age"

If the thing actually does not improve, but the person looking back on it seems to think it is better, that could be considered nostalgia.
