Gran Lurton, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, good value





Gran Lurton, Cabernet Sauvignon 2005,USD 23, good value
Cab from Uco´s Valley, Mendoza
Nice and balanced with acid black fruits taking first place. Only a hint of smoke at the end which probably reflects old used barriques. A little bit thin with nice early and middle palate. Just a hint of tipical Cabs like green bell peppers and black pepper spice. I´d say 89 points for a good value. It lacks proper lasting for a Uco´s Cab and gives a small cheap oak. Previous vintages were higher quality reds clearly.
