Tasting - Montebuena

Name: Montebuena
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95 

Shop Review: Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja. 

Personal Review: The Montebuena Tempranillo had a great smell.  It had smells of cherry and blackberry.  Definitely could taste a lot of berries and cherries.  I really did not love this wine, but i would love to see what it tastes like after decanting.
