Bulk Aging

My Cabernet Sauvignon is now sleeping quietly for a couple of months. I stopped fermentation about 2 weeks ago, added the clearing agents, and then racked it into a clean carboy to bulk age for a month or so. Making wine really tests my ability to take it slow.

Last night I took off the air lock for a second and took a little whiff. Mmmmm. Any issue with sulfur that I may have had before is now officially gone and has been replaced with the sweet smell of aging wine. I will let you know when I bottle it.
