Sweet tea and tobacco, with good acidity. Finishing with an interesting mix of sweet and bitter. Nothing soft.

Nice little spice at the end. Tobacco and smoke, heavy cherry notes. Tanic and acidic up front and smooths out at the end.

A bit fruity and too intentionally so for me, but enjoyable--at least with my mom on mother's day.
