Well, he did not. Because he is old. Old and ineffectual.
Missing . . .Nxe5 was nothing to do with Anands age he was simply so preoccupied with carrying out his strategy on the queenside that he missed the tactic, to state that it was because of his age is nonsense because Carlsen was the first to blunder into the position refuting your ludicrous assertion.

It certainly would have been a more interesting match but I definitely think Magnus would have tied it back up.
Of course its purely speculative but I am not so sure, Carlsen was not playing that well up until that point.
