I go to wine tastings at a local pub and the guy from the distributor that does the tasting cracks me up. He'll take a little wine, swish it around and swallow and talk about how he is picking up some of this and that and my favorite was when he said he was getting a hint of pear, no, bartlet pear !!! I laughed my ass off that he was picking up not just pear, but bartlet pear no less.

I am in the same boat though. I taste tabacco though I can discern some flavors like cedar and an earthy flavor and the spiciness is pretty easy to pick up. Other than that, not much else at this point.
