 | 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 9/17/2014 | RobertVitello | 89 |
Less dry (though not as sweet as cake), there is a lot of delicate fruit here. Better with white meats than with seafood or pasta. Can hold its own when paired with grilled beef. (2779 views) | ||||

Well a couple of years on since last note. Surprisingly holding well, similar and still starts off a little frizz ante for at least 30 mins. After decant - smooth and round with lots of dark chocolate berry fruit with a little mocha mixed in the finish. A little to much fruit still for me. Pricey again here in CAN. Enjoyed trailing this over time, along with the 2011 tonight which is fairly similar, but more refined. Will look for latest vintage and give it a go. (2794 views) | ||||

Overly ripe with not enough acidity or tannins to balance it out. (3304 views) | ||||

Still giving a very big flavor for a small price. (3289 views) | ||||

Dark purple, heavy ripe plum, a bit murky, deep and abundant. (3566 views) | ||||
| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 11/17/2013 | RobertVitello | 89 |
This is a simple, but very enjoyable wine. It was the perfect accompaniment to heavily seasoned hamburgers on fresh-out-of-the-oven rolls. Deep purple. Not complex, but quite flavorful, even a tad on the sweet side. (1404 views) | ||||
| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 6/7/2013 | crispino | 88 |
Quite nice, particularly on an unseasonably cool and rainy evening. Pours an almost opaque, tooth-staining purple. Aromas of plummy fruit, a whiff of alcohol. The taste is all smoothness, rich plums, dark berries. A solid mouthful but no strong tannin presence. Medium, nice finish. Nice value! (2167 views) | ||||

| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 8/15/2012 | Altonplace | 89 |
Pleasant surprise. Fruity, well balanced for a young, inexpensive wine. Had w spicy meal, which I would avoid in the future as it made the malbec too sweet. Smooth, earthy -- grab it at $15 or under. (2333 views) | ||||

Black fruit. Silky cocoa, cream with hints of blackberry, cherry and ripe plum. | ||||

| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 3/31/2012 | wine n joy | 90 |
deep cherry red, Red fruit; cherries, raspberries. Medium body and finish. From earlier comments, seems like opinion is sharply divided on this one. I liked it a lot. Nice fruit and mouthfeel. Paired really well with porterhouse steak. (2391 views) | ||||

| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 3/18/2012 | RobertVitello | 90 |
Fruit-forward, a tad sweet, layered flavors and, yes, 100 percent pure love, as it says on the bottle. (2203 views) | ||||

Very disappointed. Nothing going on here. As Monty Python said, "this is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding" (2223 views) | ||||

Not as bad as i was expectiing - re: fruit bomb...pricey @25 CAN. Young i think and have 1 bottle on shelf for 2014+. Nose has dark fruit. Palate is fruit forward, dark and has nice hit of acid and medium tannin. Lots of fruit. Was slightly fizzy when first opened, and needs 30 mins+ air time. Some complexity on finish, but fairly one dimensional. Not for the discerning crowd. (2359 views) | ||||

A sweet fruit bomb. Not swill but barely drinkable. Wouldn't buy again even under $15. (2550 views) | ||||
| 2010 Layer Cake Malbec | 1/27/2012 | Ombibulous | 84 |
This wine paired nicely with Beef tenderloin. Fruity enough for the relatively low price. Nothing to write home about though. I probably wouldn't buy it again. Worth a try, in direct comparison to the Layer Cake brand Shiraz from South Australia. In which comparison, this Malbec shone, though not brightly. High good. (2458 views) | ||||
