Hot taste

[sputnam]

I made a wine from pie filling and sugar and montrachet yeast and it tasted a little hot. I read that 71b would take away some of the heat, so I made another batch using that yeast. Granted, it is just 2 months old, buy it also tastes hot. Will this age out? And if so, about how long...6 months? Year?

will it age out? yes it will.
how long? only time will tell.
I usually bottle around the 6 month mark & then age another 6 months.
what was your og/ is your abv? higher abv wines take a bit longer

1.116 OG, last time I checked FG it was 1.020 but I am told this wine is supposed to go to 1.006. I think that makes it around 14%

yeah, that's a pretty strong wine, I bet it is hot at 2 months!
I'd bulk age it awhile & maybe bottle some in 12 oz bottles so you can try some every 2-3 months without risking a full 750ml.
