Layer Cake Malbec 2008 - $14



David: Color is purple like most Malbecs. Big nose of plum, tobacco, smoked meats. Very full bodied. Fruitiness and acidity is subdued. Dominant flavors are blackberry liquor, smoked meat. Abundant spiciness. Extremely chewy and meaty. Tannins are evident but not over-powering.
Score: 4.0/5

Jessica: Dark purple. Strong essence of dark fruits; big tannins. Smokey and spicy palate. Complex and has a long finish. Well balanced. A very distinct and dominating wine.
Score: 4.3/5
