How does aging in bottle affect the flavor profile of Riesling wines?

Riesling wines also improve with bottle ageing, as they gain complexity and tertiary aromas with age. In the process of bottle aging, primary fruit flavors can disappear, giving a place for more complex smoky, honey, dried fruits. The wine’s acidity serves as a preservative and that is why it can develop and remain fresh even after many years in a cellar.
