October 18, 2022 - Pop and pour. Gabriel Glas Universal. Tasted over two days.
Dark purple color.
Nose offers plum and touch of alcohol.
I itial intro is candied fruit - not sweet candy - but an artifical flavor.
That mellows out with expoaure to air.
Plum flavors and tannins. Shows some tobacco and dried leaves.
Not particulalr interesting.
I suppose you can let this age and get more library books, dried leaves and leather if that is what you like.
Not for me. -

June 11, 2021 - Very tannic. Very flat, very one dimensional. No complexity at all. Just black cherry/plum. Subtle but notable background flavor of green bell pepper. A little minerality. Probably won't be buying another one of these.

June 8, 2019 - From a 375ml bottle. A very balanced, elegant and full-bodied wine. Deep ruby/purple color, fully ripe aromas with notes of earth, spice, black cherry. Definitely has quite a bit of life left in it. Great for the price point. Paid $10.
