Hi,
I'm a new wine maker that just finished bottling this kind of wine kit:
http://store.defalcowines.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=20925&category_id=430
I followed the directions to the letter..except for the part where it says "bottle and wait for 2-3 months before consuming". I consumed because I just couldn't wait to try it ;P
The question I have is that it tastes a bit...well..not "watery", but like there is no "bite" to it, or no "character". Sorry...it's very hard to describe what I taste, or...don't taste in this case. It smells fine, and once and a while you'll get a hint of what could be there.
Fact is, I've never tasted wine this young before, so I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is the fact that I didn't wait that 2-3 months.
To you vets out there: is this normal?
