General description (also open-minded) in the context of a wine address for an easy-to-drink wine with not too much acidity and tannin. For example, this is used to describe a young wine that, despite its youth, is already enjoyable to drink and will become even more so with age. An opposite attribute is closed. For the ageing process of a wine, see Ageing, Bottle Ageing and Shelf Life, and for the best time to drink a wine, see Drinking Maturity.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
