What is this common taste/aroma I'm getting from every kit wine I do? No matter what kit I do or varietal, I'm picking up this same characteristic taste from all kits. Sorry I don't have any more info, I just cant make out what the taste is exactly but it's common to all my kits. Surely others have noticed this as well?? I've heard otthers on this forum refer to a "kit wine taste", but never any specifics on exactly what it is...
Ive now done...
Moments Zinfandel (April 2010)
WinExpert Vintners Reserve Merlot (May 2010)
WinExpert Selection International Pinot Noir (June 2010)
Mosti Mondiale Vinifera Noble Sangiovese (July 2010)
Mosti Mondiale Vinifera Noble Valpolicella (July 2010)
RJ Spagnols Winery Series Syrah (August 2010)
RJ Spagnols Winery Series Super Tuscan (Jan 2011)
Ive pretty much followed all the instructions with the exception of allowing them to age longer in the carboy, whereas the directions have you bottling sooner. On a couple I held off fining agents since I was bulk aging, etc...but no major deviations from instructions.
And while each one does have it's own flavor, depth, etc, there is this common odd taste they ALL have and I have to assume it's specific to kit wines in general.
Does anybody else taste this with all their kits or is it something I might be doing wrong? Is it some chemical or preservative that goes into kits? Does it go away?
