Hello everyone,
I finally finished my first attempt at making wine with the 6 gallons of Master Vintner Winemaker's Reserve Pinot Noir. I finished bottling the wine 7 days ago and decided to pop open a bottle today and see how it tasted.
Upon opening the smell was very "fruity" similar to the smell that was coming off during fermentation. The taste also was ok but very "singular" and fruity. Is this because I haven't aged the wine? Will it improve over time?
Is it normal - has anyone else experienced this?
I followed all the recipie steps and my hydrometer reading showed me I was on track.
Any help would be much a appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time!
