Default Blending Question

Dear All

I have two different vintages of Pinot Noir with large differences and I am
wondering should I blend them together.

The first wine is dark coloured, big fruit and very tannic. the second is
almost the opposite being light coloured, and very supple and smooth in the
mouth.

I did a little trail the other day mixing a bottle 50% - 50% for the two
wines. The colour was good but the nose was blocked and didn't give much
away. the palate was good and balanced. When blending two finished wines is
there a time period that they should be together before bottling?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Marc
