Hello All,
Question: Is there really a thing such as over-oaking. I really enjoy the oakiness of wine. I used a kit, put in the four packets (small packets from a vintners aus. cab. sauv) and now I am bulk aging with one spiral in there. I was hesitant to add 2 because of "over-oaking". But I reaaly enjoy oak flavors and was planning on adding the other spiral and aging them for the 6 weeks (only 5 weeks with 2).
Would I be over-oaking this wine? It is a cab. sauv. and seems pretty powerful, so I think it (and I) can handle it.
Thoughts? Opinions?
