Question for any of you that have made the RJS Super Tuscan kit. This is my second kit, first being the RJS OVZ. The OVZ is 16mos. old and very good.
With the Super Tuscan, mine has been bottled for 5 mos. now. When I initially bottled it, it tasted pretty good. Decent flavor with pronounced oak. Opened a bottle last week to see where it was and it is not good and has a funky flavor/aftertaste. Directions were followed to the T, with the exception of leaving it in the carboy for an additional 30 days, before bottling, beyond RJS's recommendation of bottling at Day 42 I believe.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone else had experienced this or if it is still too young and "blending/mellowing" in the bottle. Right now, not impressed with this wine at all. Hoping it transforms drastically.
