Tasting- Monte Aman

Name: Monte Aman
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Arlanza
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95
Wine Review: Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Agin in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. 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: Again, with this wine I also go hints of cherry smells. The color was also a very dark red. It was pretty dry tasting to me, yet it had kind of a spice like kick to it. I didn't really enjoy it all that much.
I did not have with food.
