I bottled my first batch of Eclipse Old Vine Zin.. it was very clear, taste was very "spritzy and fruity" of course, since it's young, but I was surprised at the almost zero hint of oak?.. I used the cubes... I don't know if it's because it's not really that complex at a young age, but I expected a bit more warmth, it was very dry on the back end, surprisingly you could drink it now.. I will be bottle aging it for a while..
I actually made this batch to top of my next batch, same thing but it's going to be the first run in my Vadai barrel, and I wanted to make sure I had the same wine to top off with for breaking it in.. I expect it to soak up quite a bit..
