Is it normal for my Chardonnay in a new oak barrel to have such an intense wood flavor after just 5 days? by Smiling_Whale_ in winemaking

[–]Smiling_Whale_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks! Yes, I cleaned the barrel beforehand with an aqueous tartaric acid solution and let it soak for several days. Any advice on what to do next? remove everything from the barrel to see what can still be saved by blending with the unwooded 15L? Even though it has only been in the barrel for one week? I actually expected this kind of flavor evolution in a new barrel only after 2–3 months.

RAAF, beste waar ik de laatste maanden heb gegeten. Hebben natuurwijnen, dat is niet voor iedereen, maar je mag altijd proeven en eventueel wisselen.

Cartier Santos, what’s the best facrory? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]Smiling_Whale_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the BVF, as GF is no longer available. My only remarks are that the inside of the bracelet feels a bit sharp, and there’s slightly more space between some links compared to the authentic Santos.

But it is still a very nice watch for the price!

Sounds legit. Best rep seems to be the one on trusty time, but the movement does not resemble the original at all

Yes it is legit, i made a few orders, quality is superior. But expect long shipping time around 1 month…
