Tonight I tried a split of a Showcase Cabernet Red Mountain I made at a local FoP. It is now 6 months old, in the bottle for just over 4 of those, so obviously still young. However, it has changed little in those 4 months and still has the same prominent smell and taste of overripe bananas that it had when bottled. This is the first red kit I did but I also did a CC Showcase Argentina Malbec and an RJS WS Super Tuscan at the same place and they tasted similar at bottling. Is this a normal flavor? If so is it something I can expect will go away entirely in the next year or so?
Thanks,
Jeff
