Getting excited!

[skyfire322]

So my first batch (RJS Sangiovese/Merlot) has been bulk aging for exactly a month, aging in heavy toast French oak. I decided to give it a little taste to see how it was developing, and now I'm more happy and excited than ever!

Here are my tasting notes:
Aroma -- Dark berry (blackberry/raspberry), lavender

Tannin -- On the verge of Medium plus

Flavor -- Spice, acidity of a berry, the tiniest bit of sparkle, young oak (which I found a bit odd).

In my limited knowledge I found it improves if you shake the crap out of it and let it sit for a while before tasting.

Wish I had the talent/ability to do tasting notes. For me its... I like it or I don't like it or Its okay.
