First bottle pulled with cork apparently having dropped into the wine a long time ago, ullage was 2 inches under the shoulder; looked ok, if rather dark, and tasted like acetone smells. The second bottle was fine, the cork just soaked, and much like the previous, strong color and fruit pleasantly aged.

For some positive recs, try Grove Hill in Chagrin Falls (Tim Bando is the owner and doing some creative things there). Also, Flour in Moreland Hills has a nice look/nice menu (Paul Manillo is the owner). At either of these, you can mention my name (or not) if you want.

From memory, we don’t drink that much Hermitage but this seems on the lighter elegant side, with very pretty fruit and balance.

Tonight with pizza and subs, seemed a bit softer fruitier, a little less distinctive but more friendly.
