[bmorosco]

Ok guys I have started this kit and the smells are out of this world ..I am really excited about this white wine ..This one I can not wait to taste!!A white wine with the incredibly intense aromas of melon, grapefruit, mango, peach, banana and papaya. That just sounds good....

I know Waldo....Pictures.....I will get some up later today!!

I just did this one as well. It's in the clearing and second
racking stage right now. I sure does taste good already. I
am very impressed with this wine at such a young age.(1.5 Months)

I did this one starting in Jan and have had it bottled now for a few months. It smelled great and tasted good at a very young age. I didn't age in the carboy for very long since at that time I was carboy-challenged for my other kits I wanted to get started.I was planning to test taste some time this month to check on its progress since I was hoping to take a few bottles for my parents 50th anniversary with relabelled using their wedding picture. OnceI give it a "good" tasting I'll let you know. I do remember how good the juice smelled when I first opened the kit. It was my first kit to start this wonderful hobby so it will have alot of sentimental value.

Well I opened up the first bottle. Had to sample it immediately upon opening and it smells and tastes great!!!!! I no longer can taste that yeasty flavor of "baby" wine and can start to notice some of the fruit flavors as mentioned above. Will see how it is after allowing the 1 hour decant rest. As it taste now I am very happy with the results of my first kit. Thanks to all on this forum for some great teaching to make this possible.

Okay... You've got me! My mouth is watering just by the description!

 

[jobe05]

Mine has been in the bottle about a year now and it's very good. The fruit flavors in this are very subtle bt there, with a great acid balance that just bites theJaw a bit but immediately is pleasured with the flavor of melons and sweetness on the toungue of appricots. A nice, pleasant dry wine.

 

[bmorosco]

Anyone add extra sulphite to this or some of your bottles to extend shelf life..Very excited about this wine...

 

[docbee]

After the 1 hour decant period this wine is fantastic. The fruit is subtle as mentioned but even with my allergies kicking in I can tell the tropical fruit in the after taste is there. Very smooth with a pleasant mouthfeel with just a slight tinge at the jaws as jobe mentioned. I love this wine. A definite do-over!!!!

 

[docbee]

I did at bottling time.

 

[bmorosco]

Symphony has been racked!! Ta Dahhhhhhh!

 

[Wade E]

Ah, all the uses for duck tape. Nice tag.

 

[Waldo]

Looking good Benny. How did it taste at racking?

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

With your's and doc's reviews, Ive put this on the next in line list.

 

[Wade E]

I think Ill be doing this 1 in the future to JW.

 

[bmorosco]

Waldo at racking the taste was like getting hit with a face full of melons..Real strong aroma there was definately alot going on...But I am excited this wine is going to be very complex...AWSOME!!!

 

[Mharris335]

Well mine is ready to bottle! It tastes great. It's not
like any other white wine I have had. I get alot of Melons and
tropical fruit with something else I cant put my finger on. Plus
I have not had a taste of this wine cold yet, which tends to bring out
the fruit more. I think for the price and taste I will make
another one for sure.

 

[Wade E]

Okay you's got me interested and I just placed the order with George, along with a floor corker and 100 FVW corks.

Awsome wade... Well I will tell ya the wine is crystal clear it is been racked off the lees and I am going to bulk age this beauty..WOW what a great wine..I added the extra sulfite when I racked. I plan on letting this bulk for 6 months then bottle...I can not believe the complexity of this wine.. I know I am fairly new to this hobbie but this is the first wine I am all out blown away........Very COOL!!!!
