Tasting - Monte Aman






Name: Monte Aman

Variety: Tempranillo

Region: Arlanza

Country: Spain

Year: 2009

Price: $5.95

Shop Review: Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.

My Review: This wine tasted very acidic to me.  I haven't been a fan of the Tempranillo wines so far, and stand by this feeling with this wine as well.  There was an oak flavor to the wine, and the plum fruit flavor stood out with the grapes.

With Food?: No
