I bottleda Mosti Original All-Juice Pinot Noir (Bucket) the first of June (2008). This was my first Original All-Juice kit.
I thought I was being (fairly)patient and good as had not opened any bottles. So tonight, with ithaving been bottled 5 months, I opened up a bottle.
The first thing I noticed was that is was very thin andextremely light in color. Not deep and dark like some of the other Pinot Noirs I have made. It was alsovery thin tasting andnon-descript flavor-wise. There was still a bit of the young taste there as well.
Overall, I would have to say I was disappointed.I know I probably opened this bottle a bit early, but I don't believe itwill thicken and darken considerably with age.
Did I open it too soon? Will it improve as time goes by? Any comments would be appreciated.
I have an All-Juice Masters Edition Amarone that I bottled on Feb. 4, 2008 and a Crushendo Shiraz that I bottled on Mar. 9, 2008 that I have nottried yet. I hopethey will be considerably better than this.
