Righto, 2 Amarones back to back..
Karls was saved from being total drunk last night (it was close, I'm saving this last glass till a bit later on) tastes good, raisin type quality, hint of oak I think, Whilst mine is a Kenridge Amarone from their regular line up.
First thing I noticed was how dark the Kenridge is. It tastes sharp, high in acidity. I've not tested it, Might do that in a bit If I can be bothered. Only slightly oaky though which is a pity as I'm sure it'd support more oak. It was one of the first kits I made so I followed the instructions to the letter and it said nothing about leaving the oak cubes in for any extended time.

Friday night.. Curry take away night
Opened another bottle of Amarone earlier today and decanted it (cheap decanter from Ikea, this weeks bargain!) Just shared it out between us. Very good I must say. Strangely I didn't taste it when it was decanted this afternoon but this evening it tastes quite smooth, with a good hint of oak in there and no strong acid/sharp taste that the last bottle had. it went down far too quick.
Now treating my self to a small bottle of choc rasp port. Which also seems very good this evening.
(Dolcetto down to 1.030, nearly time for racking)

Once it has cleared and ready for storage, there should be no need to oak this any more.Last edited by Duffbeer; 12-06-2009, 09:45 PM.Discount Home Brew Supplies
