In magnum. Still one of my faves from Russ and always fun to tell the story (wine club gets to submit grade school photo and if you win, you get to be on every bottle for the vintage). lol. 100% Grenache from Paso. 15.8% ABV so drink responsibly.

This is Herman Storys Grenache aged for three years in oak. Ultra expressive and flavour packed with all grenache characteristic turn on to max. Some tertiary notes at this stage and I would not cellar this any further. It’s a nice combination of fun and serious at the same time.

Interesting with floral and blueberry notes but also cloying and oaky. Don’t know what to think. Will let breath over night.
