Hi all,
Does anyone have experience with the En Primeur Argentine Malbec? Specifically, I am wondering how long it takes to start showing some maturity. Mine is still quite harsh and lacking in bouquet after 12 months of aging (8mo bulk + 4mo bottle). Even decanting doesn't help. It doesn't taste "off" in any way... just young.
Apart from a rather quick (6-day) fermentation, everything went according to instruction. Other premium kit wines I have made, from Cab Sauv to Amarone, showed a lot more progress by now.
All comments appreciated,
Don
