Tasting - "Montebuena"


Name: Montebuena
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Shop/wine critic/winery 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 well a with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja. 
Your review: This wine was a dark red/purple in color and had a delicious buttery smell. The taste was oaky with a good bite. I gave this wine two stars.  
Did not have food with the wine.
