Post stabilize and sweeten tastes.....

Tasted my blackberry wine just after stabilizing and sweeten. wow!! A little ruff. Seems I can taste the sulfite and sorbate.

Wine is a patient hobby. I try to have a stock of 1-2 year old vino on hand to help me refrain from opening a bottle that needs to go 6 more months

Yes, it's only just bottled so should mellow over the next year. But I had to taste it. Can any really taste the sorbate and sulfite,or is it just me?

The non wine early taste is a combo of suspensions settling out as the wine matures. I have aerated an early wine in a glass for 1/2 hour to get a better idea of the real taste but a year storage is the true success plan.

If you used the sulfides and sorbate at the recommended dosage, you will not taste it once mixed in well. But it could still be suspended in the sample you tried.

Also, if you are new to wine making you might be mistaking the hot of fusals for the taste of additives. Its not like any of us are truly familiar with the taste of sorbate ;-)
