Tasting - "Monte Aman"

Country:        Spain

Online Review:
Sight: Dark cherry red with violet hues. Nose: Subtle aromas of forest fruits, characteristic of Tempranillo grapes, on a light backdrop of hints of vanilla from wood ageing. Mouth: Full of fruity aromas in the mouth, with a smooth, honest passage. Well balanced.
-Winery Review

Personal Review:
The nose was light and fresh, which I found odd for a red wine, and cherry. This wine is full of cherry and spices. It is dry but also still fruity. Now I couldn't tell if I actually tasted the dark chocolate or if after reading the description my mind interpreted the taste. Oh well.
