I made a CC Washington Late Harvest Riesling a while back. I bulk aged it for a couple of months and it's now been bottled for 3 months. At bottling time it tasted pretty good - on the sweet side and fairly smooth. Tried a bottle yesterday and it's a whole different story. It now has a bitterness to it rather than any sweetness. I made the kit according to directions. I've made several WE kits and all have turned out fine. This is the first CC kit I've tried and I'm wondering if this early bitterness is characteristic of this kit. Hopefully after a few more months it'll settle down.
