Found this gym sitting in my cellar. It was a PnP and my thoughts before my first sip was to wait some time for the bottle to breathe. But, I could not resist. OMG, the first taste was remarkably good. Age is treating this wine kindly. Love these Herman Story wines! It has a strong blackberry flavor with hints of leather and tar. And, a very slight pepper taste. Nice legs on the swirl. It is pairing well with crackers and blue cheese. I wish I had another case of this wine!
This wine was stunning. Smooth, accessible and delicious. Had that beautiful Larkmead earthy taste with enough black fruit to balance it. Drinking very well right now. I've been sitting on this for just under a decade and it has been worth the wait. PnP at a restaurant. Might have even been better with a small amount of time breathing.

PnP. Was impressed from first taste. Smooth wine with relatively good balance of dark fruit, tannins and moderate alcohol. Actually one of the better Italian wines I've had recently. Very enjoyable and recommend drinking now to 7 years from now.
