well, Im trying to make the wines (white, red, port alike) hit 18C - the room is 30C, and the fridge is 10C so I keep it in the fridge and take it out a bit before eating.
On second day this wine improved a lot, so I suspect it could use more aging. The acidity integrated into some whole grain flavors. i'd say it is **** on day two.
Will be interesting to taste Radikon's other wines on Friday.
