The Auswine Forum

thanks guys.. one other thing. I bought a 98 rosemount reserve cab sauv the other day, it was very good, smell nice, smooth (not much tannin). compare to the same wine i have in my storage, mine smell good, but lots of tannin.. I feel really bad about this whole thing. I have a few $100 bottle stuff...

I have wines that i put away in cool place at home for 5 years now. notice it smells really nice when bottle is open, but after 10min the wine starts to feel like lots of tannin (acid, grip) Just want to know if it is due to the improper storage (19 - 23c). What can i do to improve the wine? the win...
