Tasting - Bodegas Monte Aman Rosado Arlanza

Name: Bodegas Monte Aman Rosado Arlanza
Variety: Tempranillo
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $12

Tasting Notes: Light, lurid red. Ripe raspberry and floral pastille scents show a slight jamminess and a hint of peppery spices. Plush and expansive on the palate, offering juicy red berry preserve flavors and a jolt of bitter orange zest. Turns drier with aeration while maintaining its emphatic fruitiness. Finishes rich, fleshy and broad, showing good power and an echo of bitter cherry. Stephen Tanzer 87 Pts

My review: This Rose was not up my alley.  I really didn't enjoy it.  On the nose and palette I got a sugar covered berry component.  The finish tasted bitter and off balance though.  This was the portion I was not so prone to.

I had this wine without food.
