Tasting Notes: "The 2012 Laya, a blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Monastrell, has a superb bouquet of pure dark cherries, blackberry and incense that would normally grace a wine far more expensive. The palate is medium-bodied with layers of succulent black fruit that is neatly entwined with the subtle French oak. It is not a complex wine, but it is supremely well-crafted for the unbeatable price. Excellent."
My review: This was another pretty interesting wine. The nose on this wine was extremely peppery. I think this is the most pepper I've ever picked up from a wine before actually. Additionally it was pretty jammy to boot. Definitely worth a buy.
I had this wine without food.
