F. Lurton, Cab Sau Reserva 2002, too late

F Lurton ,Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, USD 10

Cab from Uco´s Valley, Mendoza.

Still balanced but weak. Some compoted fruits and a hint of green pepper kind of cooked. It remains trough the early a middle palate. Some soft leather and earthiness at the end. These series (Lurton Reserva,Mendoza) are better preserved by 3 to 4 yrs and getting some round balance. Sometimes you get a nice ageing by 6 yrs of cellaring with beauty notes of earthiness and sweet oxidation without losing much body. Now I´d say 84 points with not a good value mostly beacause aged too late.
