Sweet

Have tried this monthly since 3 months. At 3 months, definitely too young. About 5 months, was drinkable, but has a sweet first impression. It is now 7 months and I'm beginning to think it's not going to change much more. It still has a sweet beginning, but after sitting in a decanter for awhile, it becomes drinkable. I'm thinking of trying it chilled. This is not your normal merlot if that is what you are looking for.

not even bottled yet and awesome - not average chalky merlot -- the 1118 yeast may have something to do with it--- kept a warm primary fermentation and that was key -- ie 35 c

I have made this several times and I always keep some on hand.
It is much better than what many restaurants serve.
I have several compliments from friends and family saying they can't
believe I made it.
Best is you wait a minimum of six months.

Picked this kit up and bottled after letting it age in a carboy for 4 months. Tasted a bit young and sweet, but shows promise. The plan is to let it age for a minimum year and half before opening a bottle. The original kits are a step up from the VR kits and with some aging yield a great wine.

Another wine to age

Picked up this kit to build up my inventory of better wines to age. I made the kit per instructions with teh exception of ageing it in a carboy for several months before bottling. At bottling time it tasted very good even though it was young. The plan is to let this age for at least a year and a half before opening a bottle. After tasting at bottling it may be hard to wait.
