Hi all,
By all the posts I've already read, I'm sure this forum should provide plenty of support for a newbie like me. I started my first batch(Selections-Cab. Sauv. Premium Series) a couple weeks ago. It's in the secondary right now and the fermantation seems to be over. I'm going to wait until week 3 to fine/clarify.
My question is: can anyone give me some idea of what "normal" would be right now for tasting? I know it's early, but I tasted it after 2 weeks. Ithad a chemical smell and a bit gassy. Tasted very full bodied with just a hint of sweetness.
Afterfollowing this forum for a while, I'm fully aware that I shouldn't read too much into what it tastes like at this point, but just wondered if someone could offer up any comments.I'm sure many of you have tatsed your wines in the various stages.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll be writing again.
