    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    Ii have racked mine to secondary. Tasted it since I am curious. Unfortunately it was tastless. What can I do to improve the taste? Did I do something wrong,? Will taste come through with aging? Any comments or thoughts appreciated. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Wine Making mobile app
