Today was taste test day. I pulled some samples from all the vats and with the help of my wife's excellent tasting skills here's what we observed:
- Barbera (with Oak chips / No cold Soak) good but a little fuzzy probably due to it's stage in the process.
- Second was the Syrah from the flextank was good but had a slight hint of something sour
- The Sangiovese: The nose was a little harsh but the taste was good. There was something a little effervescent detected.
- The overflow from the flextank was apparently close to completion and tasted pretty bad. It may have something to do with the ratio of Chenin Blanc to Syrah was higher than in the flextank and so it may have caused a bad ratio.
- The Syrah / Sangiovese was tasting good with a good smell.
- The other two Barberas were tasting very nice.
I'm going to reserve final judgement on the pail of syrah / chenin blanc for a week or so to see if it's problems blow off.
