>> Hello,

>> have just racked it onto a campden tablet and a teaspoon of stabiliser
>> dissolved in lukewarm water and thought I would give it a taste. I am

>> fizzy red wine just doesn;t work for me
>>
>> Also, it has barely any flavour initially, only a red wine aftertaste.
>> Is this because it hasn't sat yet?
>>
>> Sorry for being dense 8-p
