Got a batch of this aging now... at it's last racking I gave it a taste, it's crazy good. It stalled out at 1.010, right where I like it. Might bottle it in a few months if I can stand it that long!

Yeah, it's crazy to think that what looked like baby poo 8 months ago is a great clear golden brown color now. God I'm hoping it's mellowed by Christmas, I want to drink it so much!

I don't remember who said it, but, "never throw away a wine unless it tastes like satans anus." I've held true to that when I was tempted to toss a batch that tasted "funky" or had a "skunky" flavor...

I ended up only racking twice. I racked it out of the primary bucket, and 3 months later I racked it off the lees. A month or two later it had been clear for several weeks, so I bottled it.
