Now that I have a little time and experience under my belt I've been experimenting with parsing out batches into small quantities and blending various kits together, along with employing several of JoesWines techniques. In doing so I am often mixing together wines that are a range of ages from 1 month to 1 year. After blending, I generally allow about six weeks of co-mingling in a carboy before bottling.
I was wondering if there are any drawbacks and/or benefits to this type blending in terms of age-ability and oxidation. So far I've had good results tastewise, but I don't have any blends that are more than a few months in the bottle.
All thoughts and opinions are welcome.
