My WE ECLIPSE BAROSSA VALLEY SHIRAZ WITH GRAPE SKINS is at 17 months and it is very good. It's my second favorite of 10 different kits.

Mine is ordered

The Tempranillo is quite excellent!

Update - this wine is tasting great. Second best in my collection of 12 kits... Great finish will write more detailed tasting notes tomorrow.

Its about 14 months and its starting to come around needs another 4 to 6 months. Kit taste is gone. My WE Eclipse Merlot was first and is at 16 months. I can serve it proudly to my friends and know they and I will enjoy it!

Aging for about 13 months and I think it needs another 6 to 8 months.

18 months and it tastes fantastic - Baby's got Body! Great Shiraz, glad I made it!

Good excuse to open one, its been aging at 55 degrees.

Got mine today!!!

Thank you, Every time I open it, which is no more than 1 time a week, the temp is always between 55 and 58. I haven't seen it out of that range. I assume since it has the Upgraded R29 insulation, that it will hold temp if the power goes out. I have over 300 bottles in there now, so each...

King Arthur can help with that

Yes, I've already got another 30 bottles in the secondary plus a few more kits on the way. I think i have space for about 48 more bottles in this unit and another 48 in my dining room unit. I'll probably just bulk age the rest so my Carboys don't get lonely or feel unappreciated.
