Black Raspberry - ready to bottle?

All,



I started a black raspberry early this past January. It has been bulk ageing since February. It was originally very bitter but is getting better. The profile is TA=.45% and Ph is in the 3.5 - 3.6 range. Does anyone see a problem with this acid profile given I plan to keep some of this wine for several years?



My plan is to bottle some of it dry and sweeten the rest with a wine conditioner.



Thanks, Michael

I think you are fine as long as it tastes right to you.

Several years might be pushing it. Suggest you do frequent tastings while aging. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that it may be at its best either now or in another 6 months.
