Agreed, but sometimes you gotta live with poor fruit, at least I do. Have
you used Scott Labs late addition product, Tanin Plus? I got a very small
sample from a friend to try in a test batch, but I don't want to base my
opinion of it just on that one data point. I haven't tried mine yet, BTW, I
was told to let it sit for several weeks before evaluating the difference
between it and some untreated wine.
