2014 Muscat, day 42, Nov 15 2014

Between 65 and 66F in the cellar at 7 AM - only 33F outside, the coldest evening and morning so far of the fall.

Tasted the Muscat from CB Alice- much less aggressively tart, but still too acidic, much rounder than it was.  I'm thinking we did go through some malolactic conversion.  Color very good in the sample, yellow, though still not clear in the CB.

Did a quick Titrette test and was surprised to see it come back at 15 or 16 ppm.  Was expecting it to be considerably higher since the addition made on Nov 1.  Might check again soon but will take the sample from deeper in the CB.  This morning's sample was scootched off the very top of the neck with a 5 ml dropper.
