Default shelf life

I made a batch that was excellent at 2 months but was definitely going south
at one year even though most of my wine is aged one to 4 years. I made
another batch that I blended with a mead and it seems to be holding up well
at one year.

Basic rule for any wine, drink it when it is good. Do not wait for it to
get better. Their are two sad scenarios that can occur:
1) You could start drinking a batch when it is good and every bottle you
open is better. When the last bottle is gone you will wish you had not
drunk it so soon.
2) You could wait for it to get better until it starts going south and then
no matter how fast you drink it, every bottle will be worse.

I think the second of these scenarios is the sadder case.
