...like I said above, I find ageing increases a wine's complexity.
Think of a young wine, even without tannins, and it's tightly wound with hints of the flavors to come.
With a few months to a year of bottle age, it opens up revealing some of its complex flavors.
This process continues over the next few years, although slower.
Some people like a wine, esp. from CA, that's more fruit forward, i.e. the fruit is the main thing they can taste. With a little bottle age the fruit diminishes a little revealing other flavors which come more forward.
