I am not trying to start an argument here, but I would like to know what have peoples' experiences been with the MM Rennaissance line. I have the Barolo and the Amarone on at present and at this point (they are in a carboy in the bulk aging stage) I have to say I am somewhat disappointed.
Further, I have been generally disappointed with MM reds, which have been confined to the All Juice Original juice buckets. I recently purchased two of the All Juice Masters Edition Granbarolo and they are in secondary at present. I am really bummed out by the Renaissance Barolo and Amarone. They taste thin, very little fruit taste and are not clearing very nicely. Indeed, the only good thing I can say about the Renaissance series is that I had about 1.5 gallons of Barolo and Amarone that would not fit into a 5 gallon carboy so I mixed the two in a 3 gallon carboy (I call it "Barone"), and it is better tasting, more mouth and fruitier than either of the component wines. I am thinking of blending it all into "Barone."
What have others experienced? Thank you.
