Cloudy Bay 2000

[joeyz6]

Finally got around to opening this bottle up. Holy moly. Attribute it to my youth and relative inexperience, but I was amazed. I've had some good NZ SBs, but this was my favorite by far. Wonderful bouquet, including aromas of cat urine and grass, thick texture with flavors of grapefruit and lime and kiwi, great acidity, and a lovely finish. And I got it for $19 at the Cost Plus here in Evanston.

Here's my question: If I had drunk it earlier (like last year), would it have shown even more acidity? Does acidity usually decrease over time?
