It was a long day at work and when I got home it was late
and all I wanted was to go to bed. This was like something out of a dream I

glass of wine. It was so nice it had a great purple red color to it and the
aromas where awesome. I could smell coffee, leather cassis and tobacco. In the
finish of this wine I could taste chocolate.
