Hi All,
I fermented this last july, I then bulk aged for three months and bottled in october of 2009. I just opened a bottle today and all i can say is i am extremely pleased!!!!! It still has time to go but i gave a glass to my wife without telling her what it was and her response was this is delicious!!!!! I made this per instructions the only thing i did different was an ounce of hungarian oak cubes for the threemonths, but i can tell you i will make this again and for my tastes i will add a 1/2 ounce more of oak. Funny thing is the SG at the start was 1.087 which i consider low but the taste and flavor is quite impressive. Just thought i would share my thoughts as i stare at the 29 bottles left to which i think i will open another before the night is over
