Took us longer to get to this than I realized - 1st racking was back on Jan. 4.
We racked the three 5 gallon carboys and the one 3 galon carboy all together into the 100 liter steel tank, and will oak it all there. Hopefully we'll choose & order the oak in the next day or two. Certain of medium toast (I think we want to leave it in until bottling, but we're not likely to bottle until summer or later.) But Barrel Mill spirals or Stavin cubes or staves? American or French or Hungarian? (I can't imagine myself distinguishing between these three, but maybe the better palates in the group can.)
Wine was very clean, color is right-on, a little tart. Pretty leggy: Lori thinks a higher alc. content than I'm guessing, but it's all guessing since we chapped late. Heading to someplace good.
