As the meat ages, enzymes that were contained in the muscles' cells work free and become a kind of creative wrecking crew. They break down proteins into amino acids, so the flavor deepens. They turn the small amounts of carbohydrates in the meat into sugars, so the taste seems sweeter. And they weaken connective tissue around protein strands, so the meat becomes more tender.
