Default wine to long in primary

I started a wine a month ago but got really busy and forgot about it. I got
married in may, so with the marriage and honeymoon I managed neglected a 6
gallon batch of wine. This was a kit wine. So when I got back from my
honeymoon I was sure that it was probably ruined so I just kind of forgot
about it some more but never tried it (stupid). I tried it the other day
and it was not bad like I though it would be. I am going to go ahead and
move this to secondary for a few months like I usually do. I guess my
question is what damage did I most likely cause leaving it on the lees for
so long?. This was a kit wine that I have not tried before so I don't have
anything to compare it to.

Thanks,

David
