It has been in a long rest without oxygen. During the aging process this is a good thing. Depriving the oxygen from wine in aging helps along the grapes transformation from just grape juice to a great wine. When the bottle is opened the wine is allowed to breath oxygen and return from a closed state. In the beginning when the bottle is opened the aromatics are somewhat reserved hiding the depth of the flavor of the wine.
