Hello Everyone,
I started my first Wine Kit 12/27/14. It is a WE World Vinyard French Canernet Sauvignon. I followed the instructions exactly as written. I bottled after 2 months. It's now 3 months old.
It has a very fruity taste. It's seems pretty astringent. Also it seems very thin, or light. I realize it's very young. Can I expect over time for the fruit and the astringency to mellow out? Will age improve the mouthfeel?
I realize this Kit is average at best. I paid $75 from my LHBS. I didn't want to get anything too expensive for my first Kit. I am wondering if aging will help this kit along or is this what you get with an average priced kit?
Thank you all,
Chris
