Don't give up on your Barolo, rrs. This was my 3rd kit. I used too much water to top up and didn't degas enough. I rushed the kit through in 45 days. Still, it is excellent now at 16 months! Good nose, great flavor. I like it well enough that I made the same kit last March.
I seem to be in the minority, but I like WE's 15L Original kits. The Merlot is coming around nicely at 13 months, the Luna Rossa was tasty at 8 months and keeps improving. It is at 1 year now. I am making the Cab and the Cab/Merlot right now.
WE's Estate series is really impressing me, too! These are 16L kits without grape packs, just real high quality grapes. I made the CFM and the LOVZ last Feb and the tastes I have had from splits are VERY promising.
I should say that the only skins kit I have made is the CC RM Cab last May. I haven't tasted it yet. If it ends up blowing away all the WE kits, so much the better! I started the CC Rosso Fortissimo yesterday.
So, bottom line, if you don't particularly care for the taste of one of your wines, stop drinking it for 3 to 6 months! No point in being disappointed when you could wait for a batch to be great.
