Even this young, the aroma is not in your face fruity. Swirling gives some blackberry, black cherry, leather, and light dry leaf herb. There is some alcohol warmth too, but not overwhelming. What herb? Tarragon or marjoram. Wonderful old world aromas. Flavor is juicy and tangy acidic. Tannins are mild.
