Well, it's not that I am expecting it to be sweet sweet; just some hint of some fruit and it was still a little fizzy on the toungue which I am hoping/thinking brought out even more of the tartness aside from the fact that it is young.
I originally degassed it according to directions with a drill attachment and such and thanks to the postings I have read here decided to let it sit again to additionally degass. Also put initially in 65 degree laundry room and then moved to 70 degree kitchen wrapped with a blanket. Second racking performed as stated above a day or so ago - (if I was following directions it would have been time to bottle at this point).
My plan at this point was to let sit and additionally degas, fine once more with the isinglass and bulk age a bit - but then I started freaking out due to fizziness and taste and perhaps the ph level which seemed to read a little high - but maybe that will even out with time? I gave a good stir with opposite end of the spoon to release some of that trapped gas.
