Last weekend and monday (12/10) Cleaned barrels well with ProxyClean, rinsed, drained and then racked the wine over copper back in. Lost some volume to racking sediment so we didn't refill the 8G barrel. Burned a sulfur strip instead. NOTE: The 5G carboy of Malbec did not get re-racked over copper. (Just racked out of the barrel over copper). No sign of rotten egg smell. :)
Tasted wines with friends of the Dimmicks, Dick and Fay. The Clone-6 cab continues to have a strong sharp flavor. Most likely from the new MH toast barrel. We plan to rack the wine and clean the barrel to make sure the flavor doesn't overpower the wine.
