Just tasted my Merlot, it has just finished malo (99% sure) first year with proper french oak.
Spanking. nice and clear (by gravity) ready for first racking sometime v soon. I liked it so much I had to have half a bottle
special thanks, to a very nice chap gave me some D21 (JFB). I might have to source some of this for next year.
Might have been a bit sparing with the oak 6-8g per litre (cooperage recommendations) - let's see how it develops.
How is everyone else getting on ?
