How do Bordeaux red blends evolve with age?

Bordeaux red blends during the maturation in the bottle go through a process of transformation, breaking free from their youthful exuberance to acquire a more matured and also a sophisticated persona. The wine is also enriched by tertiary aromas and tastes which include leather, tobacco, cedar, and also earth among the others that balance the wine’s primary fruit character. Tannins soften very slowly, providing a smoothness, with the acidity keeping the balance and freshness. The marriage of these fine nuances produces wines of a much higher complexity, class, and also harmony, with patience and bottle ageing, the paying back.
