Tasting - Layer Cake

Name: Layer Cake

Variety: Garnacha

Region: Calatayud

Country: Spain

Year: 2011

Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar's Review: "The Layer Cake Garnacha from Calatayud, Spain is rich and powerful, yet clean and balanced. Layered with aromas of ultra ripe black fruit. On the palate, the wine shows intense dark fruit with a background of rich dark chocolate and fresh ground coffee with a long creamy finish."

My Review: This wine had a dark fruit smell, almost black like raspberries. The taste was dry but not too dry, pleasantly tannic. It also had a bit of bitterness to it, wet violet came to mind as I drank it. The finish lingered a bit on the tongue after drinking.

I had this wine alone without food.
