Legs!!!

[summa]

Ok LB rusty here, but...
So far as I remember, legs can involve two completely different things:
1) if you swirl a glass of wine, and watch it afterwards and notice drops running straight down the sides of the glass...those are called legs, and supposedly are a sign of a "more concentrated" wine, though I don't think they really mean a damn thing.

2) how well a wine can be cellared, of course in the proper conditions....will it improve with longer cellaring, is it closed or young now...read maybe too tannic...and will it continue to evolve in a way that will make it better after a few, or many, years. That is the wine's legs.
Remember only certain wines, such as some cabs, some bordeaux, some burgandy, some heavier italians or rhones or german reislings are even expected to have this quality.
