Another Tasting Question

[MegamanXYZ]

Maybe its just me but I tend to have more difficulty with young heavy wines. High alcohol content combined with high tannin levels obscure the taste too much to really get a good feel for what's underneath. There are many wines I've read reviews on tried them and question how the heck they got rated so high when I can barely drink them. I find I'm forced to rely more on aroma than taste in such cases. I've tried decanting and while it does help a bit its just not enough. I often wonder how the experts are able to uncover the true flavor when young wines are in such a state. Anyone else have similar problems with these wines?
