Mine is in the bottle, I will use D47 for the next batch to see if there is much difference.National Wine Judge NGWBJ

I took a bottle to the Circle meeting on Monday to get some feedback. When I opened the bottle there was a bit of a funny smell to the wine, Bob identified it as the result of insufficiant nutriant (can't remember the name of the gas). The taste was ok though. I opened another bottle last night, same eggy sort of smell. I gave it a stir with a bit of copper pipe and that sorted it. A few people tried it and thought it was fab stuff, well done Rich, I will get some Tronzymol and get a 2 gal batch on.National Wine Judge NGWBJ

Another month on and I entered a bottle in the circle comp. I gave the wine a good beating with a lump of copper, this sorted the H2s problem out. It came first out of 26 wines entered, well done Rich, top recipe!National Wine Judge NGWBJ

Bottled a batch of this yesterday, I aged it on some oak cubes (From Nashwood Winery on fleabay) for 1 month, and it tastes lovely. Well the glass I had left over in the demijon did anyway! Not too much oak, and a hint of vanilla.
Even managed to acquire enough Alsace type tall narrow bottles to bottle it in.
