Night before last I was in my shed. I remembered I had some leftover must/leeves from a racking. Maybe 1 1/2 quarts. I had let the wine and the sediment separate then poured the leftover liquid in a jug a couple weeks earlier. When I opened it I smelled a "ruined" fruit smell. So I'm thinking.., Why not? and turned it up. OMG! Was I ever fooled!! It tasted good. I took it to my wife who gave me a bad look when she smelled it. She was pleasantly surprised as well. Lesson learned: don't let the smell fool you AND wait it out if you have to.
