Winery 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 abackground of rich dark chocolate and fresh ground coffee with a long creamy finish.

My Review: Very complex nose with a sort of blueberry, baking spice, and raisin aroma mixture.  Definitely a layer cake but not due to dessert qualities.  There was some sweetness but maybe suggested from the label and noticeable pungent light acidity though fairly aged.  Couldn't make up the fruit because it was complex though there were some cocoa flavors and black pepper, decent balance. 

Tasted without food.
