A little bit of cherry and cigarette on the nose. It took a lot of swirling to milk the smell out of the glass. The taste was fruity but not jammy. Tannins were calm. No finish at all that I could distinguish. Taste was good but very short lived. A burst of fruit with no lingering of any sort. Perhaps a little age or decanting will help but, quite honestly, I am not very good at predicting that so I can't be sure. It might just die out.
