When I first inhaled, I got tobacco and and earthy aromas. I was excited to taste this wine after these wonderful aromas. On the palate, I was tasting cherry. I also noticed that the acidity and tannin's were not quite as smooth as I was hoping. Tannin's and acidity were not over powering but just not balanced. Over the next hour I was hoping that more flavors would developed, but no such luck. It was an okay wine, but after such a promising start on the nose, it felt like a disappointing finish.
