A Wine Review: Layer Cake Malbec 2007

Argentina
13.9% abv
750ml bottle

Here are the tasting notes that I found from their web site: “Pure, rich and very elegant; a powerhouse of lush black fruit, silky cocoa, black spice and cream, wrapped around blackberry, cherry and ripe plum. Layered and complex with a nose to linger over, a finish that never ends. Sweet anise, hints of tobacco, black chocolate, more cherries and exotic spices, layers of jam. This wine will stand and perform anytime you think of a Cabernet and want something just a little more exotic. Born at the base of the Andes and fed by the purest spring waters…I love this wine.”

This wine is packed with the dark fruits. The blackberry and dark cherry notes are flavorful. There is a slight sweetness underneath the earthy profile and spices which are thick and lush. This is a very good complex Malbec and a must buy.
