Wine is to hot!

Is there anyway to smooth out a wine that has too much alcohol? Its a cherry(vh) that has bulk aged for 15 months or so. Just added sorbate bc I am going to sweeten some of it. Just lookin for a way, if there is one, to smooth it out. Thanks.

None that you probably haven't already tried. But here is a list: Adding water, acid and sugar to re-balance . Finding another similar wine and blending that into it. If you haven't used fining with it, then perhaps use bentonite at .2glitre. Very fine filtration.

Hot wine

HOT WINE CAN BE HANDLED ,TO A CERTAIN DEGREE,BY USING GLYCERIN AS A FINISHING AGENT.THIS IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR LIQUORS,BUT CAN ALSO BE USED IN WINE FINISHING..TRY IT IT WILL WORK.
