Had a bad end to the work day. Saw my crappy schedule and found out my days off switched even though I made plans. Gotta love retail workers who only want to work 9-5. This helped to soothe my rage😉

Yes this is informal, suck it.
Almost brown color, fast legs.
Never smelled a wine like this before! Without wine folly as my guide I'm not sure I could have identified these smells. Only one I got without the book is cocoa(I said chocolate-but it's definitely cocoa) and now I can't get over the tobacco. With some trouble I found the blubbery. Been around too many Italian wines, lots of alcohol distracting my nose. Utterly fascinating smell though. Overwhelmingly summer sausage now!
Taste: meaty, dark mulled fruits, so dark they taste past ripe. I can taste the tobacco smell
Medium plus tannins. Medium minus acidity.
I'm giving this a high score simply because I've never encountered anything like it.

This was a gift. I tried it. Didn't really come together for me. I would try it again.
