Tasting- Monte Aman


Name: Monte Aman
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Arlanza
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95
Shop review: 00% Tempranillo.
Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel
tanks at controlled temperature. Aging 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: Fruit-filled like the Sangria from last week. Strong fruity scent and taste. The finish has a taste of licorice somewhat and is medium-dry.

Tasted with food or not: None.
